    Good trick to discern consistency on the Gawker lawsuit issue: imagine whose position would differ if you replaced Gawker with Daily Caller

        If the position differs, and the view is "any means necessary are justified to destroy a publication I dislike" - well OK. Defend that, then

        If Soros secretly funded an existentially threatening suit against Daily Caller, would that affect your view on the secret funding of suits?

        What this hinges on, insofar as it's completely without precedent, is the issue of secret funding of such a lawsuit.

        So would a billionaire secretly funding an existentially threatening lawsuit against the Daily Caller be OK?

        OK, you pass the consistency test then. I'm focusing narrowly on the secret funding of lawsuits by billionaires.

        Not necessarily, they posted something that cased a billionaire to dislike them enough to secretly fund a lawsuit

        The lawsuit only came about because a billionaire chose to secretly fund it. That should've been made known from the outset.

        And if it had been made known from the outset, the entire trajectory of the case would have changed. So that's the key factor.

        You don't think the jury might have liked to know that the case was only brought before them due to a billionaire's largesse?

        yes, but it was a first with respect to media law and the attendant first amendment considerations.

        Would have been up to the judge to determine its relevancy. Defense never had a chance to make an argument.

        This lawsuit was in a local jurisdiction. I do think secrecy matters in terms of popular perception, which can influence jurors.

        Well, that's a wild extrapolation to a view I don't hold and never signaled support for.

        So you agree that it should've been put to a judge to determine whether it was admissible.

        Yes but the question was never even addressed pre-trial because the funder concealed his involvement.
