I can't take anyone who defends these Gawker media sites seriously.
Their entire premise was to be the biggest asshole possible, justify it using bastardized social justice talking points, and then imply everyone who calls them out is some kind of deplorable.
Jezebel published article after article of extremely offensive and cruel content. I'm pretty sure at one point they published an article about how they beat their spouses. Their former owner stated in court that he would publish a sex tape if the participant was older than 4. Their former EIC talked about how it was important to bully nerds into submission.
These people are fucking psychopaths. It's a good thing they are done.
I'm also not 100 percent sure the premise of this is correct. There are tons of articles on abortion from less tabloid style news orgs.
Why can't we just believe people (corporations) when they tell us straight-up who they are?
