Isn't the press supposed to be on the side of the law-abiding little guy — going after wrongdoers, not the blameless?
ReplyDeleteThis whole episode is a bizarre abuse of power that merely reinforces the public's worst impressions of the press, namely, that it is arrogant, ideological, untrustworthy, and clueless. Of course, Gawker never pretended to be otherwise, but presumably the Journal News once entertained pretensions to credibility and respectability.
