I watched until they got to the weak Trump connection. It's no secret that I have supported Hogan 100% through all of this. I'm glad Gawker got put out of business and I hope they all become destitute, begging in the streets for scraps of dirty bread. I don't consider a non-consensually recorded sex tape a newsworthy item. Gawker's subtext was always nasty with the intention of tearing people down. It may be entertaining to some, but for me it is just negative and pointlessly cruel - no matter what you think about the target. An example, outright calling a female celebrity ugly, fat, or scary as part of a widely distributed 'article' is needlessly cruel. Nobody needs to read that. This is nothing that should be protected by the first amendment.
The Gawker f#cks came across as total douches inside and out, and even though Hogan got the lucky bounce with Peter Theil, in my opinion they got exactly what they deserved. I don't honestly see the Trump parallels aside from an attempt at more bad press - pointless unless it can somehow see him removed from office and replaced with someone that is at least competent and somewhat level headed, which in this case it cannot.

Anyone seen this on Netflix? It's a documentary about Hogan's case against Gawker. The synopsis blasts Hogan for being a wealthy and powerful figure using his influence to shut down critics and are likening him to Trump. Hogan at the time was far from being a "wealthy" figure. He was just destroyed by Linda in the divorce. Be that as it may, he certainly wasnt destitute either. I dont see how Hogan used money or power to shut critics down. He lost his WWE job, railroaded in the divorce and now was having not only his private sexual life exposed to the world, but was having the finger pointed at him for being a racist. This was national news and the man was shamed everywhere. As far as whether he really had a case...Im torn. I dont think he should have his sexual life blasted all over the internet to be seen. He certainly was not aware of the fact that he was being filmed. But then again, thats part of the risk in the celebrity life. I would say a lean towards Hogan, especially considering he never consented to being filmed and was not in a public domain. But I think since it was already out there and available to just about anyone who wanted it, he should have looked to get a percentage of the distribution versus putting Gawker out of business. It cant be unseen. I definitely do not see the correlation to Trump. Trump doesnt have a sex tape, he is trying to recover damages on. The finger of shame is pointed at Hogan, more so for his use of the N word, than having a sex tape. Trump is having the finger of shame pointed at him for mostly made up stories by the Democrats who are ing butt hurt.Do not speak truth!! People are sensitive these days and the truth hurts their feelings. Then they need safe spaces.

Gawker blows and so does hogan This is definitely the most reasonable assessment I've seen in this thread. It's funny that I just finished this documentary and came on here to see what political crap WF was arguing about this week, only to stumble upon this thread. I can't do anything but laugh at this point

I can't do anything but laugh at this point Yeah like I said in an earlier post, it isn't worth it. No one from one side is going to convince anyone from the other side that they're wrong. And if that were to happen, it certainly isn't going to happen on a ing wrestling you forum. Meanwhile, the republicans are going to keep voting against everyone's best interests and then they'll keep blaming everyone else but themselves when it continues to blow up in all of our faces. Because Jesus. Or fake news. Or something.

I think them using Gawker of ALL ing people to prove their point was a gigantic misfire. It's people like Gawker that have turned news organizations into a giant clown show. CELEBRITY! SEX! SCANDAL! Gawker is your argument for wealthy people attacking free press? Jesus Christ...

Look at that new healthcare bill they want, that will essentially make most Americans go broke...while giving tax breaks to the wealthier. Both sides suck. But let's not act as if one side has our backs more than others

But let's not act as if one side has our backs more than others I'm not acting like the Republicans have our back? IF you check out his comment and my comment together, you'll see I was simply adding balance to theMOESIAH's one sided statement. Which makes him liking your comment that much more weird.. Because he seems to not believe that both sides are greedy scumbags.. And that the Democratic side is truly superior.. And they're not. Neither side gives a damn about us. The only difference between Republicans and Democrats is that the Democrats do a much better job at lying about it.

I wouldnt say they do a better job at lying, there's just a ton of people that are too naive to realize they're being lied to. And I laugh at the thought of the new healthcare bill "making people go broke"...tell that to my $3k deductible. Thanks Obama Ironically the most people I see that are Pro Obamacare/Anti Trumpcare (or whatever you wanna call it) either dont have health insurance, on their parents insurance or choose to just pay the yearly penalty and still not be covered.

The only difference between Republicans and Democrats is that the Democrats do a much better job at lying about it. I was mostly talking about economic policies. The conservative method has been to shove supply side economics down our throats for the past 30+ years Uber various names. People still support it despite the fact that it has never once worked. I don't like either side but I am well aware that the republicans are far more dangerous than the democrats.
