Peter Thiel Could End Up Owning Gawker (pagesix.com)
An anonymous reader writes: Gawker's assets are now up for sale, and Page Six reports that they could be sold to a Hollywood movie studio which is "seriously interested" in adapting the site's stories into movies or TV shows -- and is also looking into filming the story of Gawker itself. Another interested buyer is described as a "group of hard-core Gawker fans" who are currently performing their own due diligence. But the bankruptcy manager for Gawker "has not ruled out the possibility" of selling the site to Peter Thiel. Also up for sale are "potential legal claims" Gawker may have against Peter Thiel, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Not that gawker didn't have its flaws but wow this guy is everything wrong with the world
Also up for sale are "potential legal claims" Gawker may have against Peter Thiel,
They've got nothing, and they know it. The difference between "potential legal claims" and "legal claims" is that the former is just a euphemism for "fiction".
I'm a minority race. Save your vitriol for white people.
Gawker exhibited the worst of ethics free reporting and had the audacity to call it journalism.
I would have agreed with you a few years ago, but the unabashedly biased reporting being done today makes Gawker seem tame in comparison.
You've never seen Breitbart, have you?
You are welcome on my lawn.
To my knowledge, Breitbart has never done anything comparable to hosting a nude video despite requests from the subject, and a judge, to take it down,
Yeah., all they've done is sell nazism. No biggee compared to a 40-second video clip of a guy who had publicly bragged about his sexual escapades.
