Gawker Is Dead and Deserved to Die (2017)
I saw the source, and understood immediately there was no point in clicking.<p>Gawker died because, as it turns out, Peter Thiel wanted it dead, and had enough money to buy the outcome he wanted. It was astonishing that he prevailed in the initial suit, but gobsmacking that the judge referred to issue a stay pending appeal -- which, in practical terms, meant the appeal was impossible.<p>Gawker was murdered by a craven jackass and a broken and complicit legal system. OBVIOUSLY, though, the Federalist will come down on the side of the moneyed class and their favorite tech investor.<p>This is because they have no principles.
