As Twitchy told you, Gawker has filed for bankruptcy. And some people are pretty darn upset about it.

A terrible precedent. You can bet he won't be the last billionaire who will try to bleed a news org into bankruptcy https://t.co/Z8V8VEgG2h

What happened to Gawker could easily happen to any publication you love. All it takes is a billionaire with a vendetta.

Dear #Gawker death cheer mob, pls think of how such events chasten media. Self-censoring journos? Do we want to live in THAT place?

I don't think this funding Hulk Hogan's Gawker suit is working for Peter Thiel the way he wants. The press is not cowed now, it's pissed.

They may be pissed, but their outrage is rather selective, don’t you think?

Raise your hand if you know that journalists would be singing a different tune if it were a conservative-owned outlet instead of Gawker.
