That's how I feel about the New Yorker after I found out that they pinned a glowing review of "how great gawker was" written by none other than Adrian Chen. (He's a piece of work)
- lotso 10y agoAdrian obviously acknowledged his bias. Do you have an issue with anyone writing about things they're involved in? What legitimate criticism is there on this scenario you're describing?

(Distasteful, I'll agree with you) The person who was the moderator, from my understanding did not contribute to the sub. He turned a very private individual into a very public individual and caused many bad things for the person. Even worse, he made sure to punish and taunt the individual. As a result the individual had a lot of rather stressful life events, was humiliated on CNN, etc. For all of this: Adrian Chen claimed a moral victory. ----- From my understanding, this was SOP at Gawker, and that is what lead them to have some very powerful enemies.
