> a famous person makes racist comments in it (the Hogan tape!) This seems to be Denton's major defense of the newsworthiness of the tape (although even he argues it half-heartedly). I don't buy it. The racist comments on one part of the tape don't make the actual sex part newsworthy. They posted a heavily edited version of the tape, which meant they included the sex intentionally. Seems obvious the purpose of those segments was simple voyeurism, which is an invasion of privacy. The "but he's a racist" defense strikes me as a cynical attempt to latch onto the current mainstream social-justice train, when really this has nothing to do with racism.
