even though 75% of their material comes from reddit they have taken up a cause against the website. I guess they see them as competition.
They have had dozens of anti reddit posts since (i think it really started with) "The Fappening" and have labeled reddit as a misogynistic, racist hate site and have had to have trolled through thousands and thousands of posts to find quotes and posts that fit their narrative. Condé Nast bought reddit in like 2010 and even though reddit has spun off into its own entity I guess Gawker doesnt give a care and have them pegged as marked men. I guess this goes as far as outing Nasts CFO and his private life.
I found this quote from Washington Post's story...Gawker's founder, Denton says:
He noted that under the leadership of Craggs, “Gawker and other sites have done more ambitious reporting. … But even the best of our stories fail to get credit, in part because of Gawker’s reputation for tabloid trash, given another lift by the unjustifiable outing of a private individual in turmoil, in front of a potential audience of millions.”
Even the shitty founder says these writers and editors are an embarrassment to journalism. Yet these fucking douchebags, who fabricate stories on hearsay, think they're martyrs for "true reporting". It makes me sick.
The guy quits as a princiipled stand against them pulling a slanderous article about a private citizen trying to get a rent boy, like he's fucking Daniel Elsberg
It shows in their attempts at humor, these poor college attendees or recent graduates are waif like crusaders running around the field with leather helmets and unmiraculous insight. Late August this board will improve, they'll be back to their gender studies grind and Ant will be in studio. August will be the month.
Holy shit you're right. I didnt even think of that. I wondered if there was a reason that O&A fans suddenly became so offended, and there is, college is not in session. Wow. That really makes this all make a lot more sense to me.
ya tss it's like these trendy lesbians and dreadlock thespians we've acquired are so dirty the townsfolk think they're planting roots when loitering on the park grass. see, cuz they're 'in touch with nature' and unclean resembling a plant...FAWKIN' HOMERUN.
its not going anywhere... but the platform has been left absolutely rudderless and is currently destroying itself from within.
This is the biggest hit they have taken yet, and the past year or two have been bad for them. As of today they are in a bad, bad place. Are they going to rebound and evolve or become O&J/TACS?
No, they're going to hire new editors and any writers that take a hike will get replaced with currently unemployed MFAs living in Brooklyn. Union Carbide, BP, Exxon all still in business.
One of the main problems is that popular opinion is actually with the executive team on this issue. The creative staff seems to be standing on principal, and it's all just infighting anyway with no real customer facing impact beyond that gawker has always considered itself part of the story. Sure they look like assholes, assholes with a scrooge mcduck vault full of money. The ironic thing is if any other website had written that article 20 gawker network writers would've done op ed replies about what scumbags they were.
I actually emailed best buy and sprint telling them I will never use their service again if they don't drop their partnership with Gawker and soon. Never done anything like that, but it felt good
This isn’t the place to debate the merits of that story, other than to say that I stand by the post. Whatever faults it might have belong to me, and all the public opprobrium being directed at Jordan Sargent, a terrific reporter, should come my way instead.
God damn I hope that some day his life is ruined by a libelous dick nose who calls himself a reporter.
Are you getting rewarded with points because you're taking a "KenFresno vs us, RIGHT GUYS?" stance? I'm 10 years older than the average poster here so I don't understand the dynamics.
might be the first time ive ever responded to you, and i dont know what youre talking about. i was just trying to be witty because i get that youre an older dude.
Just trying to "take the piss out of you" as the British might say.
Also dont think that theres any sort of hivemind about yourself, we are all less than nothing.
This happens way too often whenever anyone posts something slightly off the general agenda of the sub (Derosa and Opie are now good guys, a couple months back the polar opposite was in effect), there's too much autism happening on daily basis here for me too keep up.
I will clean that young ripe mouth by ramming soap down your throat with my cock, all the way until your sweet saliva undoes every wrinkle on my smegma cape. It has carried some rank cheese over the years, boy.

Is it too far to hope for some suicides from gawker employees?

Fucking pieces of shit. The media's totally letting them off the hook with this one, too, they're just fucking falling apart.

Only because they had the nerve to attack a closeted homosexual. There's no bad tactics, only bad targets, the motto of around 114 users here.

Do you realize gawker supported getting Ant fired? You might want to send them an apology..they are just as anti racist as you.

This made me think to check Alex Chan's twitter, the guy who wrote those wimpy articles about Ant's tiff. One of his recent tweets is full-on CQ : https://twitter.com/aleksnotalex/status/621738168870514688
What a bore

With Ant constantly disappointing of late, this is refreshing.
