Connor Wilson

Thomas Thompson
I assume it is still going to be shit.
Hm?
Lucas Reed
Well it if is that, it's actually an American based company though.
Oliver Adams
So the Ziff Davis deal didn't go through, or is it just the stuff Ziff didn't want?

>independent blogging Does anyone have a link to that article that said NONE of Gawker's subdivisions could officially be considered ethical journalism? They had their fingers in so many fucking cookie jars it wasn't even funny.

Anthony Diaz

Josiah Baker
ACCURSED HYDRA
Anthony Reyes

Angel Barnes

Luis Hughes

Michael Barnes

Gavin Roberts
>claims to be a real american >instead of buying gawker and fixing it he allows it to be sold off to foreigners just like everything else in this country what a fag
Connor Parker
Ah, that's what I was thinking of.
Too bad, here I thought Comcast was finally going full evil.
Jack Mitchell
This is so awful it's comical.
Jackson Jackson

Blake Evans
americans with coca-cola, walmart, 7eleven and others companies destroying the economy around the world
Cooper Ramirez
And all that money that Gawker got sold for is going into the hands of Hulk Hogan legal fees. You can live comfortably knowing that this is the end of Gawker Media the final nail in the coffin. Now they belong to corporate media.
Cooper Gomez
What have Muslims and Chinese bought

Thank god Gawker is finally dead. With corporate comes responsibilities and the destruction of personal agendas being able to be expressed. They can't be lawless lazy idiots anymore that push their agendas through articles, now they are under the heel of a corporate entity having to fall under their agendas instead. This is a day of celebration.
