      Gawker broke a lot of stories other outlets shied away from (Cosby, Weinstein, Spacey, Louis CK). We are poorer because it was destroyed.https://twitter.com/letsgomathias/status/928695848543948800 …

      All the great reporting on sexual harassment and assault has been done by outlets other than Gawker, so how can you say we need Gawker?

      A lot of that reporting, as in today's Louis CK story, is building on earlier Gawker work.

          I know that's true of the LCK story, but others? Anyway, it doesn't matter, and I certainly don't approve of Thiel torpedoing them. I just think the remaining news outlets are doing great without them around.

          Yeah the world is a much worse place without a "news" outlet posting private sex tapes without approval.

          Is it building on that earlier Gawker work? No one went on the record in their 2015 post about this, and Louis’s career was mostly unscathed. More has happened in that regard in the past week than in the past 2 yrs.

          Publishing a blind item about an unnamed "female comedy duo"(duh,who could that be?) where "the victim" states,"Your facts are wrong...I don't want to be part of this story" is bullshit and invasive.

          Yeah, and we landed on the moon thanks to Nazi scientists. Are we poorer because the Nazis were destroyed? No. These stories are taken seriously now because they were reported by REAL NEWS SITES, not places like Gawker that could be uncovering a story OR lying for clicks.

          Don't pretend Gawker didn't post a video of a woman being raped in a bathroom and then delay taking it down despite pleas from her family. This is all recorded in court testimony.

          Yes, but the people that did that reporting could still do it at another outlet, preferably one that isn't super gross and run by awful people. We don't need Gawker. We need reporters willing to follow stories wherever they lead.
