Subject: Re: [TV orNotTV] Gawker exploring options, including sale

 

The 1st Amendment says the government cannot censor any citizen; it does not 
stipulate that others cannot sue for libel, slander, defamation, etc. Gawker 
had the freedom to post a sex tape and Hulk Hogan had the freedom to sue them 
for doing so. And now Gawker is bankrupt financially (they were already morally 
bankrupt); that is literally the cost of doing business the way they did. The 
1st Amendment has not been damaged in the slightest; all that has happened is 
an organization has been held accountable.

The only remaining issue seems to be that the guy who financed Hogan's lawsuit 
had an axe to grind with Gawker. I just don't find that in any way relevant to 
the verdict.
