Those who are (like Casey Johnston) mourning the death of journalism with Gawker.comโs demise and the larger Gawker Mediaโs bankruptcy, remember that Gawker is the organization that published a video of a college girl possibly getting raped in a bathroom stall.
Not to mention all of the other horrible things theyโve done.
I too am wary of having billionaires suing sites out of existence. But if there is one fucking site and media organization that deserved to be nuked from orbit, it was that one.
Good riddance.
