Why Peter Thiel Wants to Topple Gawker and Elect Donald Trump
What I find interesting is that the author of this piece attacks Peter Thiel as some opponent of press freedom because he helped fund a legitimate lawsuit that a jury found in favor of Terry Bolea.<p>The same author in 2012 wrote an article wrote an article defending Venezuela&#x27;s Chavez in his treatment of the press [0]. In 2012, Reporters without borders, gave Venezuala a 117&#x2F;177 in terms of press freedom[1].<p>0. <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;georgiapoliticalreview.com&#x2F;chavez-versus-the-press&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;georgiapoliticalreview.com&#x2F;chavez-versus-the-press&#x2F;</a><p>1. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;rsf.org&#x2F;en&#x2F;venezuela" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;rsf.org&#x2F;en&#x2F;venezuela</a><p>With regards to articles about Peter Thiel, it seems like the media hand wringing over Gawker, may be in part because it strikes close to home to a lot of media members. They want the power of the media without the responsibility. In addition, I suspect a lot of media members have close friends and relatives that work for Gawker and this conflict of interest is hardly ever disclosed.
