content: I agree.  Journalistic integrity in the US is at an all time low thanks to "news networks" like Gawker. They don't care about what they publish, so long as it gets page-views and generates income. For a while now, sites like these have not had an Achilles heel, as they have used the cloak of "the press" to protect them from harm.  But every beast has it's weakness. Libel and Bad journalism were held in check by the truth. News organizations of the past relied on integrity for business, and did not want to be caught lying or publishing trash, so they made sure their editors, writers and contributors were on the up and up. These new sites don't care about truth or integrity. They are immune to someone calling them out on those points, and thanks to the civil court system being stacked in favor of those who can afford the most legal help, they effectivly denied entry to those who would challenge them. As Gawker is finding out though, they have a weakness. All it takes is someone with big enough pockets to breech their defenses and push them all they way through the civil court system, to get to the point where actual people can decide right or wrong (not legal or illegal) This isn't about freedom of the press, because gawker isn't news. By slanting everything they do with such a visible bias, by abandoning any sense of principal and integrity, they distort the definition so far that they can't even convince 12 random people that they are in the right.
