Gawker Staff Smears Feces On Itself, Boards a Schoolbus Loaded With Gasoline and Napalm, Then Intentionally Drives That Schoolbus Into a Cargo Train Transporting Toxic Waste and Retarded Clowns

Let me explain, no, there is no time, let me sum up:

Last night Gawker published an article outing a David Geithner, brother of Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, as a gay man who once sought an aborted rendezvous with a gay porn star. David Geithner is married -- to a woman -- and, more relevantly, is a CFO at media conglomerate Conde Nast, which the nobodies at Gawker consider to be their enemy, because useless, talentless marginal people enjoy imagining themselves in epochal wars with people who actually matter.

This is the basic mental defect at the heart of stalking.

The post was particularly nasty, for several reasons. For one, it went it much, overmuch lurid detail about their chat sessions, setting this rendezvous up, when it was journalistically sufficient to merely say They arranged for a meeting (which Geithner later backed out of.)

For another, who the hell is David Geithner? He is a nobody. So why do we need to know this, other than for the cruelty of watching another human animal in pain?

For a third, I repeat, the tryst didn't even happen.

For a fourth, the circumstances of this situation suggest a shakedown; Geithner was apparently unwilling or unable to help the porn star with his problem (he was being evicted from his apartment, for being a gay porn star), and, I don't know, all of a sudden this guy says Sacred Honor compelled him to squeal to Gawker.

As a side wrinkle here: Ted Cruz was actually helping that guy with his eviction case; apparently he's a vet who claims PTSD. So as a weird side thing, Ted Cruz is the hero here, the guy in the story who did nothing wrong.

Though I don't know if he'll continue trying to help this "Ryan" character.

Media outrage was swift and universal, including from me, who observed that Gawker was a would-be blackmailer's Safety School.

Then Gawker began self-justifying, claiming, preposterously, that they were just offended by someone in a media c-suite (corporate suite) cheating on his wife.

Right. The bottomfeeders at Gawker are all about the sanctity of the marital vow, huh?

And if they cared a damn about the wife, they could have passed her this information privately, discretely.

But they wanted the clicks, the notoriety, the scalp.

What they got was a meltdown.

In crisis mode, with vomitous revulsion at Gawker rising in the throats of the entire world, they backed away from their Avenging Populist Hero justification and their board voted 5-1 to remove the piece; * Nick Denton issued some bullshit bullshit piece about how Gawker has matured now, or something, and now is too credible a source to be publishing stories like this.

But a lot of damage has been done -- one outfit went so far as to begin offering $2500 bounties for information that would wreck a Gawker writer's career ($5000 if it involved a crime).

Adland described Gawker as having gone from "toxic" to "radioactive."

Wired writes all this up, and you can check my work against theirs, but I think I've brought you up to date.

Daily Caller has an interview with a guy who doesn't admit to being the gay hustler in question but who sure seems to think Gawker is "brave" for publishing their account.

* Call me cynical, but I believe the vote was deliberately made to be 5-1, as opposed to 6-0, for the same reason Gabe opined the John Doe 2 prosecutors won't be sanctioned: If the vote were unanimous, there might be more of a chance of legal exposure.

So they needed that "1" vote to show that someone claims this is newsworthy.

Maybe They Felt, Legally, They Needed 2: The one holdout was the editor who had approved the story; perhaps they felt his vote wasn't enough, as he was personally compromised.

So Sgt York reports, they've gotten it up to 2 votes in favor of the piece's newsworthiness:

Check the update at Wired, they've revised the tally to 4-2, to include Heather Deitrich, Gawker's legal counsel, as one of the voices of dissent...further attempting to legitimize their running of the story.

Ah, the Legal Counsel. Perfect.

Because...

Hulk Hogan is currently in trial against Gawker for revealing private material to the public (a sex tape). Gawker deliberately posting private facts about non-public persons would go a long way to show a pattern and practice that would lead to punitive damages.

that's bsbk's input.

#HulkHoganTakeTheWheel!

USA today had an interesting take on this. They just said "He had asked Ted Cruz for help." As if the guy knows Ted Cruz.
Didn't contextualize it by saying he asked Ted Cruz's constituent outreach for help. Nope, USA had to go about implying Ted Cruz is personal friends with a gay porn star.

31 Here's my .02 worth of spitballing on this issue.

Gawker thinks Geithner guilty of the most horrendous crime; closeted gayness. They make a point of mentioning his wife at home, and the gay nature of the hookup he was seeking.
That's unfuckingforgivable these days. If you want gay, go gay and be proud, all those years of marriage be damned!
But don't try to hide behind that starched collar, you gay suits, we will find you, and we will shame you.
Not for the gayness, but trying to hide it.

I really think that's the not-so-underlying motive here.

Sometimes, Ace, a cigar is just a cigar.

Most SoCons (as we have been called) would prefer that people keep their various sins to themselves. In this case, he did. Gawker, OTOH, felt the need to shove it all in our faces.

Generally, gossip is considered a sin, as well. So, mostly, we try to avoid it. Unfortunately, it is a sin most well suited to us girls, just like porn is one most well suited to guys. Both items are readily available, in fact plentiful, on the net. None of that is a good thing.

51 I feel vindicated as I stopped reading any Gawker Media sites about a year ago. I used to read Deadspin pretty regularly because I work in the sports media industry and they occasionally had stuff that was interesting and related to my work. Eventually it just dawned on me that reading their shit was just draining. It was just a bunch of lefty outrage that was tangentially sports-related dressed up as news. Decided then not to visit their sites again. It's not about not giving a bad site your business. (I doubt they made much off of my visits anyway.) It's about not consuming garbage.

87 I have a different take on the "I don't care" angle. To me, it shows equality - something gays have (supposedly) long sought. I don't care about the entire scandal, same as I wouldn't care about an aborted 'straight' tryst. It's bottom-feeding (as noted) targeted against people I neither know of nor care to, and thus, I really don't care. the tragedy is that people make a living about it.

Start with Kotaku, Gawker's video game subsite. There was tons of shit dug up during the GameGate firestorm regarding their journalistic practices such as fraud, extortion, harassment and sexual favors for coverage.

Of course, it didn't involve the harassing of any gay men, so no one (the media) really cared at the time.

because if you're doing an exaggerated version of yourself, it's not YOU people would have negative opinions about, it would be this exaggerated parody of you.

There was talk of it becoming Hollywoo East with all the majors opening up shop there.

Instead what happened was every cheap grifter who couldn't break out in LA and could afford a plane ticket rushed out there to hustle the yokels and generally stink up the joint.

Today, those grifters are stinking up the Internet in the form of Huffpos, Gawkers, Reddits and pretty much most of Facebook and Twitter.

However if they did go after me I might not know about it as except for here I have the lowest social media profile of almost anyone I know. I have a name on Facebook. I've never posted anything there so I should probably delete it. I keep getting this lame things everybody does like, "Do you know_____ ?" "Ahhh, yes, I'm rather sorry to say and they probably feel the same way about me" or "Nope; I don't recognize the name" or "They have my e-mail address and phone number. They can just call me". I don't tweet, don't use any other of the more cutting edge tech social media things. Don't do "linked in". Wouldn't be able to hear about myself on TV if I tweeted pictures of my private parts to some 20 something kid because i don't have a TV that works. They could still come bang on my door, of course.

site has since corrected its own post to say that the vote was 4 to 2
with Heather Dietrick, the President and Chief Legal Counsel of Gawker

Gawker: See, this story is totally legit because the lawyer didn't want it removed. Lawyers know about legal stuff.

280 One thing not mentioned is that "outting" is old hat. Yes, the gay left has put a social justice spin on it in recent years but it's mostly just that gay guys are bitchy gossips.

Of course, there have been equally credible stories for years that both Obama and Hillary are closeted gays in sham marriages. However, they are both useful to the cause, so no one will definitively out either of them. The Newsweak (sic) story declaring Obama the "first gay president" always seemed like a sly acknowledgement that the rumor is true.

281 Eeeh, I'm bothered by ths whole story for for multiple reasons, but since most have been covered...lets try this angle...

So Giethner is married with kids, and midlife he decides to try a hookup with a gay escort... erm, since when does that make him a "Gay" fellow travler?

Midlife crisis acting out? Merely curious? Mentaly unstable and is buying into the cultural cache of being part of a new fad movement? Naaaaah, self hating closeted gay.

For the most part, there are no gays, just homosexual activities...and then a marxist political movement.

It can be a cop out. Howard Stern is (I think) still doing his schtick, so that's kind of different. I don't think you can *keep* being an asshole for, what, 30 years and still claim it's a character. But Perez and ace both made an effort to stop playing that character---or perhaps, to rewrite their character into someone else.

Regarding "outing" somebody because they won't embrace the bliss that perfuses the ghey lifestyle, matters are beginning to sink to the absurdity level of the South Park episode where "They took our jobs!" was an oft-spoken refrain.

The solution to keeping the alien humans from the future from showing up to steal the jobs was for all males presently alive to turn actively homosexual, thereby shutting down procreation and, eventually, preventing the future aliens from existing at all.

mixing Floridians and New Yorkers. Hard to believe but there it is.

Posted by: richard mcenroe at July 17, 2015 09:35 PM (Kucy5)

Florida was utterly wrecked by the huge out-of-state influxes. It's like what's happening with illegal immigration on the national scale. A never-ending stream of people pushes property prices up where you can't afford them on normal-people wages, makes wages stagnate, makes it nearly impossible to find a decent job, and votes for things that you absolutely abhor and there's nothing you can do about it.
Don't go thinking that today's "Floridians" are real Floridians. Most of the ones I knew who were born there, like I was, were at least talking about leaving. Nobody liked what the state's become, and I'm glad to be a Texan now. Unlike FL's influx, I was happy to abandon my old identity and absorb a new one. And of course, I already vote like a Texan, so that won't be an issue either.

World is still on fire. Will continue to burn. Is not much you can do, comrade. Except plant potatoes. Potatoes are below ground, not harmed by fire, and make wonderful, wonderful wodka. More wodka is needed for 5-year plan. Nobody wants to go through Communism sober.

371 ever notice the Cassandra Chorus never seems to add anything to a conversation, except their overwrought, fainting-couch horror that we're not talking about the important things they want us to talk about?

Listen, Susan, we talk about shit all week long, you dig? So all the crap you just came in to talk about -- for these two minutes -- we've already covered.

So Patricia, spare me your eternal attention-whoring theatrics.

Yup, the UC Experimental Farm in Albany, CA.

376 The ridiculous Mr Danger was unsuited for a position of responsibility of office or as enforcer of the moral priorities of others. Democrats, let alone his former or possible future constituents are better off without that loose cannon, low integrity, pathological personality "governing". And he and his family are probably better off. All of them have to deal with what's real and form real connections...instead of a phony show. They have plenty of money and privilege and are better off without power over others.

379 The only reason the establishment media was disgusted by this is because Gawker went after a LGBTQWTFBBQ guy who is a liberal. If they'd smeared a right-winger, there would not have been universal condemnation.

381 Ace, your summary was very much very longer than the actual article. Actually, your headline too. But yours was very much so very much better. So much very much better that it could have been even more much longer. (although the hi-lite styled linking in the article was cool)

382 First, just to be clear, so both the bus and the train were carrying hazmat and retarded clowns?

Second, I wouldn't exactly call the CFO of Conde Nast and Turbotax Tim's little brother a purely private figure, but still, was that worth it for them?

Posted by: Rich Fader at July 18, 2015 02:10 AM (LeeQi)

383 Doesn't the press kind of routinely divulge who is sleeping with who, who posted a dick pic, and who cheated on who? People are outing others left and right, I thought.

I'm not saying it's okay, I'm just confused why this one was drawing the line? I don't see Geitner as so obviously a private figure as some others do.

It's all kind of sick, but this just kind of par for the course these days. I wasn't outraged or full of approval, either way.

384 I thought John-shaming was one of the ways to combat prostitution. I've seen newspapers publish special summary lists of men (mostly) arrested for solicitation. Or is John-shaming only suitable for heterosexuals?

Were they wrong, too?

Posted by: ErisGuy at July 18, 2015 04:46 AM (wqv11)

385 Something not mentioned is the only reason the SJWs jumped all over this, and the only reason Gawker pulled it (they could really give a shit if conservatives hate them) is because it concerned gay sex. Trans and gays are virtually untouchable these days, and criticizing or otherwise acknowledging gay sex is in any way icky is just not acceptable. In fact, the left seems to be pushing that gay and trans is the "new normal" and that normals are the new freaks.

Which brings up another thing. If groups get to choose what to be called and what not to be called I'd like to start a movement that I'm offended being called "cis-gender". It just sounds creepy and wrong. I prefer "normal" or "sane".

Posted by: docweasel at July 18, 2015 08:03 AM (XxzcU)

386 it's almost as if they think there's something embarrassingly pervertedly wrong with being homo.

if it's normal, how can you be outed for it?
