Sure, in light of Trump's constant barrage of attacks on the press, Gawker's demise might look small (even deserved, to a point), until you realize this sets a precedent for "if you are a billionaire, you can kill whatever outlet you want." Scary, considering there's a number of billionaires with rather ass-backwards agendas, like say the Merced family supporting white supremacist rags.
