09 A Huge, Huge Deal -- Talking Points Memo
Galker It all comes down to a simple point. You may not like Gawker. They've published stories I would have been ashamed to publish. But if the extremely wealthy, under a veil secrecy, can destroy publications they want to silence, that's a far bigger threat to freedom of the press than most of the things we commonly worry about
