Yeah, he’s doing a kinder, softer version of his Colbert Report persona a lot of the time, and I think is incredibly well meaning, but I don’t blame his non-white guests for not always wanting to be part of a teachable moment for his (presumably mostly) white audience when they’re promoting a show. And I do think…

My point was they couldn’t have handled it better except to keep the victims-are-always-right corporations-are-always-wrong crowd from taking notice and building up a head of steam. For the most part, mission accomplished.

Read sensational headline. Skim article. Mis-remember previously sensational headlines and skimmed articles. Wordvomit. Defend honor of wordvomit against cruel and unusual competence.

I’m no fan of Cinemark — it’s their fault the locally-owned multiplex a block from my home closed down — and I’m down with the revolution whenever it starts.

Pro tip: when you’ve got a known dumbass like Travelgrrrl agreeing with you, it’s time to rethink your position.

Or maybe, the lawyers provided their clients with sufficient information to know that they were fighting a difficult battle, and that, while there were colorable arguments that could be made to support their claims, the odds were against them, and they might be subjected to paying the other side’s fees and costs.…

I’ve read your comment several times and I have no idea what you are trying to say. How are you in particular going to cause fallout for Cinemark? And why do they need to apologize? What?

The thing as well is the media in NK is state run and is known for it’s bullshit, lies and propaganda. Comparing China to NK is ignorant at best or racist at worst. A case of all ‘those people’ (Asians) are the same

I took Lee’s opening statement about not having read them well and having no opinion on it as a coached legal statement so I didn’t read that much into that part. I think he was simply saying that the decision wasn’t his and that his opinion on the articles was irrelevant.

Yeah, speaking of comprehension problems, I wasn’t comparing China to North Korea except in the sense that if you hear a story coming from either country and it sounds like bullshit, it probably is.

Gawker’s fanboys have religion, they don’t need facts.

Uni has no knowledge as to the substance of the posts, has nothing to do with their creation, and nothing to reveal about their substance. And Trotter knows this. He’s asking because he wants to make them look bad and you’re criticizing them for refusing to play an utterly transparent game. How dumb are you?

Maybe it’s because I am also an asshole (read: lawyer), but it seemed to me he tried hard to explain as best he could why they couldn’t further explore some lines of the conversation. At the end of the day, legal privilege is real and he would have been neglecting his duty (not to mention his law license) if he didn’t…

All pre-sale and post sale content is owned by Univision with the exception of those six articles. In theory every article could become the subject of a lawsuit and become liabilities. They will deal with that as it comes. Their mandate was to purchase assets only. An article with pending litigation is not an asset,…

Why can’t the employees of Gawker Media understand that Univision bought the assets of the company and not the liabilities? It doesn’t matter if the stories are true; they are currently in some form of actual litigation rather than just existing under the threat of litigation. Therefore, if Univision, or Ziff-Davis or…

Thank you for explaining this in the clearest way possible. This guy/gal has been talking out his/her ass on every post.

The writers don't seem to have a firm grip on these concepts either unfortunately

Hope my seriousness does not ruin your point here...

But I mean, the guy is a lawyer. His job is not to appease anybody, it’s to protect the company. Quite frankly, I could understand why a lawyer sitting across from an employee of a company you just acquired, that was only available for acquisition because they got sued into oblivion due to the content of some of their…

That might make sense — if your understanding wasn’t completely wrong, and bad.
