You don't have to have sympathy for them to want this not to have happened. I don't like Gawker. If you want to argue the world is a better place without them, I'm not going to take the other side.

But the way they've been destroyed is terrifying for anyone who wants to live in a free and informed society. The ends don't justify the means.

I agree with you, and my point was that the ultra-rich influencing the media isn't new, and is actually more visible in this case than it normally is.
