Look, I understand that Thiel may have been on a kind of personal vendetta, but I can't really argue that what he has done is wrong. Gawker regularly does what a number of other journalistic outlets do as well, that being: printing these ridiculous and false stories and then some time later printing a correction in fine print at the bottom. There needs to be more accountability for these "journalists" because in some cases they ruin others' lives and act as if they have done no wrong because they "eventually" published a correction...

- internaut 10y agoThe truth about what? Hogan/Terry's cock or Thiel being gay? Is the Freedom of the Press flag supposed to be wrapped around those? I'm curious. Can you find one of Gawker's character assassinations that targeted somebody with political convictions that they shared? And FYI that is the radical left but you get half points for conventional leftists too.
