If you lean to the Right at all, you see that this happens all the time, and has been happening for a very long time. There are always groups of people who try to set themselves up as an elite, who can never face justice for anything, and who can destroy anybody they feel like without consequences. America was set up so that it's harder for actual politicians to be truly elite, so it's more media figures and bureaucrats. The real elite are leftists, but that doesn't mean they're the same as the left. Witness how almost the whole DNC lined up against Bernie Sanders. This sort of thing happens all the time, to many arguably undeserving people. It's only getting attention because it's happening to an organization that was supposed to be part of the Elite. As such, I don't feel much sympathy for them. The article was right on on this point. This quote: > Gilles Wullus of the group Reporters Without Borders told the BBC that the Gawker case poses a dire threat to press freedom. “Journalism ethics should be taken care of by journalists themselves,” he said. “In case they do not, we think that nobody else can do it in their place, neither states nor governments; especially not wealthy individuals.” Seriously?? Just like they say, can you imagine the uproar if somebody said the same thing about petroleum industry executives?
