Gawker Media and Nick Denton troll in dirty politics.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer group of people

Thanks for the video. I opened Free Republic to get news about the Hogan case, since I am not familiar with Gawker.

Jimmy Kimmel pointed out the false headline on Gawker: “When Isn’t Jimmy Kimmel intoxicated?”

Gawker lady: “There is a shifting definition of what is public and what is private.” Wow. No wonder they published Hogan’s private video.

Ah the good ole days!

Then a certain retired wrestler named Hossein Khosrow aka ‘The Sheik’ would in a dither, and be fit to be tied.

This will probably bankrupt Gawker.

it will also provide impetus and fodder for Trump to go after an out of control partisan leftwing press.

Let's go on the offense against Gramscian infiltration!

[grey_whiskers]

Does Gawker own or fund Jezebel, or vice versa?

[johniegrad]

‘Rhoid rage!

[wardaddy]

And he nailed his best friends hot wife repeatedly with his permission and encouragement

And according to her between caterwauling Os is blessed with a Johnson make a black man turn green with envy

Some guys I swear...lol....all the luck

Then...there’s this. Hey, Gawker, how’d that work for you.

This *and* $115M. Some guys have all the luck.

AWESOME!!! Party time at the Hogan residence.

Let's see.. Jury award for 17x the ‘publication's gross profits for 2015.

So, Hulk, whatcha gonna do with your new media site? Pretty sure it'd be a whole lot cheaper for them to just hand over the keys at this point.

Jezebel and Kotaku are part of Gawker Media, which probably will have investors scrambling for cover in other more stable investments.

Say, would you mind saving this photo for the next time someone mentions or posts photos of Hillary in "that way" and we need BRAIN BLEACH / EYE BLEACH !^TM ? I think that photo is an *excellent* candidate.

Jezebel? Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of rabid batsh*t-crazy-foaming-at-the-mouth doctrinaire man-haters & feminists, eh?

...incidentally, what was Jezebel's take on the woman having her privacy violated? Or was that overshadowed by the fact she was having sex with a man instead of a woman?

Hulk is/was a member of the nWo.

[minnesota_bound]

If Hulk Hogan made a real Hollywood movie it would not bring in $100 million in receipts but a home made sextape..... I see celebs having their sex tapes released in the near future and then suing.

[trebb]

This is great. Gawker and Denton are awful.

Double-edged sword for me - the guy boffing his best friend's wife ends up being the "good" guy in the deal.

[NohSpinZone]

Wow, thank you for sharing that damning Jimmy Kimmel video. The bubblehead “editor” representing Gawker did the site no favors. No wonder they got their asses handed to them in court. They embody the phrase “reckless and willful disregard for the truth”. She said as much.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

It may have been a blunder on the part of the trial judge to have allowed Hogan to wear his bandanna as his wearing such a bandanna over emphasizes his celebrity status.
