Thiel - Facebook investor who ends up on Trump's transition team and who wants a "private intelligence community" sets his sights on Gawker's "demise."https://www.forbes.com/sites/mattdrange/2016/06/21/peter-thiels-war-on-gawker-a-timeline/ …

Gawker is found liable against Terry Bollea (Hulk Hogan) and the court assigns $140 million in damages. $115M in damage, $25M punitive.https://www.litigationandtrial.com/2016/05/articles/attorney/hogan-v-gawker-legal-faq/ …

Just after the settlement, Univision buys out ABC-Disney's stake in Fusion. Fusion buys Gawker's corpse, aka Gizmodo Media Group, for $135 million.https://www.forbes.com/sites/veronicavillafane/2016/09/22/univision-rebrands-gawker-media-as-gizmodo-media-group-starts-translating-content-for-univision-com/#24ce1e9f5122 …

This interesting in that Univision and Trump very theatrically got into it in 2015 - early in his campaign - with Jorge Ramos.http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/anchor-jorge-ramos-thrown-trump-event-told-back/story?id=33317296 …

Man, for all this enmity, Trump and Univision patch it up VERY soon after the election. WOW is this sunny or what? I mean, for a Latino-oriented station covering what will soon be seen as a bunch of Nazis.http://variety.com/2017/tv/news/donald-trump-univision-meeting-1201956565/ …

But here's the thing - Gizmodo Media's editors start attacking Trump-Russia stories with great vigor starting December 13 in Gizmodo itself. Their sports outlet. Their tech outlet. No matter which, they totally have 28-year olds with STRONG opinions on intelligence analysis.

Apparently Gizmodo is struggling. Oh. Our man Max Tani again. Well, huh.http://www.businessinsider.com/gizmodo-media-struggling-univision-2017-5 …

But the funny thing is, Fusion is looking for more capital to expand. You know. Into Mexico and Latin America, where "they don't send us their best people."https://www.rapidtvnews.com/2017120950020/fusion-media-group-begins-international-expansion-with-mexican-launch.html#axzz53QSL54lE …

GUYS, could it be that that Univision wanted Trump's attitude toward monopolies (Mob families! Central control! Hooray!) so they could expand despite antitrust laws?

And look! Peter Thiel - Trump ally - wants to buy assets from Gawker. Well, what a great coincidence.https://abovethelaw.com/2017/12/peter-thiels-lawyers-say-they-want-to-buy-gawkers-vault/ …

What I find hilarious is the way Gizmodo/Fusion's employees cover Thiel's actions - keeping them in the public eye - while weak-wristedly slapping at him as to pretend they're against his moves.https://gizmodo.com/report-peter-thiel-up-for-key-intelligence-position-w-1818591891 …

"I simultaneously write hitpieces against Trump-Russia, yet I am soooooo anti-Thiel." Yeah. LOL.https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/posteverything/wp/2017/12/12/if-you-miss-gawker-dont-let-peter-thiel-buy-its-archives/ …

GRINGO11 Analytic Conclusions: It was not The Entire Media that stood up for Trump and attacked his critics. It was a few companies: Would-be monopolies. Connected to private equity or high-yield junk bonds. A couple with unsavory connections, let's say.

This story will come out in full. The rest of the industry that represents professionalism and resists corruption will survive and thrive. We should make certain that government policies make it happen. For our democracy. For our freedom.
