So is Gawker basically fucked now or are they going to get bailed out by billionaire leftists?
>>68002731
they will appeal and get the amount dropped by probably a lot. this is common in these kinds of cases.
I hope they die though.
Goodbye Jalopnik. Goodbye shiity veiled leftist propaganda pretending to be reporting on the world of teansportation machinery.
>>68002838
It's florida. They're gonna have to pay upfront before they can appeal.
Just liquidating assets to pay for it is gonna murder them.
They are owned by litteraly the richest Jew in Russia. They will be fine.
>>68002970
But why would the jew pay the fine when it's worth more than the site by like 5 times? Also the site revenue is just going to go down after this horror show of a court case
>>68002970
I dont think kikes are going to pay for gawker arrogance especially considering they couldve dodged this fine by just removing the vid in the first case.
>>68002970
I know he owns Huffington Post, but does he really own (directly or indirectly,) Gawker?
>>68002731
They are fucked, yes. They will appeal, they will lose, they will file bankruptcy, HH files civil suit, he wins, GM has lien put on all future earnings, GM goes away, HH gets no money.
Now the DOJ needs to prosecute GM for violation of 2257 porn record keeping act, i.e., disseminating porn without proper label declaring theyve maintained proof participants are over the age of 18. Penalty: Five years in prison, 250K fine for each infraction.
>>68002838
>they will appeal and get the amount dropped by probably a lot
Don't be so certain
The trial showed how fucking clueless and incompetent gawker really are
They joked about child pornography while under oath
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Pr8S44o6N4
4:20 is when it gets really good, the lawyer absolutely fucking wrecks him with his own testimony
>>68004165
sarcasm heheheh
>>68002872
What's wrong with Jalopnik in particular? It's been decent since Ray Wert left.
>>68005290
ur a fuken fool bro it's a goddamn feminist blog it's wrong by definition
>>68005835
What with loads of feminine tales waiting to be told about cars I hadn't really noticed.
>>68004165
>joking in a court room
>being sarcastic in the court room
>being dismissive and smug while being questioned
Holy fuck, these people do not understand how real life works at all
>>68005835
You're thinking of Jezebel
>>68006140
its like they think they are hillary clinton.
>>68005290
Jalopnik went to shit years ago with the format change.
You can't take a site seriously when they unironically post shit like this.
>>68006140
This guy doesn't understand how fucking conversations work
>did you joke about child pornography
>yes
>is that something you think is funny?
>No
>But you did joke about posting child pornography, correct?
>No
They literally read him back what he said, two fucking sentences prior to that moment.
HE SAID HE DID IT, THEN TRIED SAYING HE DIDN'T. IN A COURT OF LAW
These people should never breed
>>68004165
>>68006140
>>68006675
These people spend so much time in their echo chamber they forget how reality works. In their minds they've done nothing wrong because hey, they're "journalists reporting on some white trash wrestler", they're freedoming their speeches. The echo chamber drowns out reality while they're inside. Outside? Well, we're seeing that now.
>>68004165
>jokes about CP
>>68006140
They live in echo chambers and safe spaces. They have zero self awareness. They don't realize that court isn't an attention whoring contest.
>>68006637
Usually when reddit tries to meme combine its a disaster but this is above and beyond.
>>68002731
Is gawker a porn site? Why is it such a big thing?
>>68007394
It's a celebrity gossip site with no moral standards so they published a sex tape of hulk hogan and refused to take it down
meanwhile they also chastised the evil white bullies who released j-law's nudes
Gawker and its child sites (gizmodo, kotaku etc) are the shitty tabloid paper of the internet
>>68007394
2nd tier mainstream news conglomerate. It gets its kicks from being leftist and tabloid like stunts.
/pol/ and gamergate have brutalized them for what they done respectively to them. Hulk is said to possibly be the finishing blow unless some leftist billionaire bails them out.
>>68006637
Kinda cherry picking aren't you? For me what's really missing though is Murilee Martin running weekends. Otherwise the site has been kinda uphill since Wert left, but you're right that it might have peaked years ago.
>>68007635
>>68007564
Thanks guys. Seems they deserve it
>>68004165
>4:20 is when it gets really good
>>68002970
This sets a dangerous precedent for those fucks either way. Their rep is damaged now as far as normies are concerned, and now they'll finally listen to people who say Kotaku and Salon aren't real journalism because even Denton himself said it.
>>68004165
>Acting like some smug motherfucker.
As I expected these people have 0 experience with actual people outside of their SJW internet friends.
>>68007922
good chance they'll have to start another half baked celebrity leftist gossip group, years of work down the drain.
>>68004165
I can't even imagine a movie or a book that would be believable be this whole thing is absurd. I can't even fathom that how someone would think it's a good idea to joke around in court. And I might even be autistic!
>>68004165
Can someone explain me this video? They are talking about some 4 year old and child pornography? I thought it was about a sex tape of Hulk Hogan?
>>68009219
The lawyer is going over his deposition and establishing the fact that this guy is a fucking scumbag and their defense of first amendment is bullshit.
You should watch the whole video because he is getting murdered by the prosecutor.
>>68009219
He made a joke about it in an earlier deposition in the case, the specifics of the joke don't matter as much as the fact that he would make that joke during a deposition.
>>68009219
Basically they were cross examining him, getting his point of view, while also trying to get him to say stupid shit they could use against him. It went like this
>so you didn't care at all how this video made hulk feel?
>no
>You would post a sex tape of any celebrity then?
>Not children
>What's the cut off age?
>four
This faggot brought up children himself and shot himself in the foot by being snarky and saying 4 as a joke
>>68009506
Yeah I'm watching it and trying to understand it
>>68009589
Thanks
>>68007564
And now we need to step up our attacks on Gizmodo and Kataku spamming their advertisers that they support child pron etc
Get the information to O'reilly and he will go mental about it
>>68006140
They can get away with that because they're above the law. Soros will step in and bail them out.
>>68002731
I expect them to get bought out by other Jews to keep the propaganda machine going.
I've read on here that the Gawker lawyer brought up the Holocaust. Why?
>>68010621
To try to compare Hulk, and the court, to the nazis
>his mother is a holocaust survivor, so they know from experience the horrible things that can happen when people try to infringe free speech
>>68010621
gawkers dude's mother supposedly survived/died in 'holocoust'
>>68002731
Why bail them out? They can just form another corporation.
>>68010621
Gawker tried to claim it was a first amendment issue, and prosecuting them was therefore like muh nazis holocaust 600000000000000000000.
The truth is they released the tape specifically to embarrass Hogan because he is a white male, and then refused a judge's order to take it down.
Luckily, the jury saw through the bullshit.
>>68004165
NEWSWORTHY PENIS
>>68010621
Why not? It's a magic trump card, after all.
Except in this case, that is. Not even the jew-ash-thrown-in-the-eye trick could free Gawker from this courthouse gas chamber.
We all knew he would get a second wind.
>>68006140
They've lived their entire lives in their own safe space where passive-aggressive snark is a substitute for actual facts and arguments.
>>68002731
It'll be bought by Soros and will double down.
>>68013308
Tell me that pic isn't real
>>68006675
The good news is that SJW-style leftist birth rates are collapsing. Gee, I wonder why, they seem like such great people to start a family with!
Meanwhile, White Christian birth rates in the US continue to be at or above replacement rate. In the case of the Mormons and the Amish, the birth rate is so high it rivals African averages.
>>68014384
It's real. I had to visit the article to screencap it.
>>68014581
>small in size, like Nick Denton's bank account
>>68014794
>>68011096
>> Not even the jew-ash-thrown-in-the-eye trick could free Gawker from this courthouse gas chamber.
well kek'd
>>68011330
"We're gonna win so much"
>>68002970
Denton has stated before losing the case like this would bankrupt the company. Gawker already burned through its lawsuit insurance through other lawsuits so they have to pay this out of pocket.
>>68014384

>tfw when it's real
>>68002930
He's right . They have to come up with 50 million. I hope that cess pit dies.
Fucked, and the wankstain writers will get picked up by their former colleagues at Vox Media.
>>68002731
Are there videos of the trial? I want to see them testify.
could the woman in the sex tape also sue gawker now?
>>68016206
Just google "Gawker Trial Holocaust"
You'll shit brix.

>>68004165
You really have to wonder about the culture of a company that has 115 million at stake and lets an employee tell pedo jokes in a sworn deposition and act like an eye-rolling teenage girl under examination.
who are teh people testifying in court?
>>68004165
Fuck these people, seriously. Gawker is a bunch of fucking bottom feeders.
>>68002731
slimy blogs like gawker and tmz have insurance because their main purpose is to find the ethical and legal barrier and take three steps past it
I WANNA BE
MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN BROTHER!
>>68017046
>slimy blogs like gawker and tmz have insurance because their main purpose
lol, the insurance company is going to tell them to go fuck themselves. They would probably settle a $20,000 case, not hundreds of millions.
>>68017259
gawker probably pays that and many times over annually for premiums, that is a minute amount
>>68014720
>In the case of the Mormons and the Amish, the birth rate is so high it rivals African savages.
just fixed that for you. you're welcome.
>>68017492
Hundreds of millions is not a "minute amount". You don't ask an insurance company for hundreds of millions. They will tell you to go get fucked with a pineapple.
>>68010621
Holy shit, now I really hope this appeal gets shot the fuck down.
>>68011096
>jew-ash-thrown-in-the-eye trick
>>68004165
Wasn't he fired and trying to fuck them over when he made the paedo joke?
>>68011096
ayy

>Andre and Hogan staring at a mexican trying to make it over the wall.
>>68004165
lol, look at this rat squirm.
>>68018043
I was talking about $20k.
You can create insurance for anything at any amount as long as you pay for it. BP bought nearly a billion in coverage for spillage. I don't know why you think millions is absurd. My health insurance limit was in the millions until Obamacare removed that practice.
>>68019348
HELLO RAT-O
>>68015997
why 50? I thought it was 115
>>68011096

>>68002731
So far as I can tell, the case goes something like this.
>Hogan files a privacy tort action
>Gawker has to overcome by showing an overriding public interest
>Gawker asserts that its interest is the freedom of the press guaranteed by the first amendment, specifically, the freedom to determine what is "newsworthy"
>Hogan's attorney knows that the press usually wins these cases, but he no doubt quickly discovered that Gawker is full of the scum of the earth, from radical feminists, to belligerent SJW ideologues, to every other kind of irredeemable asshole with no journalistic integrity or iota of professionalism
>Hogan's attorney therefore focuses the defense around showing what a bunch of assholes Gawker are in order to make them overlook the legal argument and want to punish these horrible people to the full extent of the law
>It works and Hogan gets astronomical damages
The appellate court will probably overturn it in favor of Gawker, but it is an interesting look at just how dysfunctional and frankly how evil that company is. Even if they overturn it, depending on state law, they might have to pay it before appeal.
>>68020090
>Hogan's attorney knows that the press usually wins these cases, but he no doubt quickly discovered that Gawker is full of the scum of the earth, from radical feminists, to belligerent SJW ideologues, to every other kind of irredeemable asshole with no journalistic integrity or iota of professionalism
so true
Oh man the comments on Gawker blogs are great today. Their own community hates them so fucking much.
>>68020090
you forgot the part where a court ordered them to take down the video from their site and they refused and instead posted a defiant article
>>68019787
They need to front 50 million if they want to appeal the 115 million.
>>68002731
People seem to think that they need to pay everything immediately, this is wrong. People and companies can delay payment for ridiculous amounts of time through exploitation of the legal system, it will be 15 years before Hogan sees a cent of his money.
>>68019787
50 is the ceiling
>>68021030
Did they really do that and think it would work? Where the fuck did their legal team go to law school?
>>68006140
>Holy fuck, these people do not understand how real life works at all
Would you expect any different from your typical liberals?
>>68021283
they did indeed lel
>>68014581
>criticised the glowing review of Konami game in some Japanese magazine as a conflict of interest
oh the ironing
So has Gawker itself acknowledged this at all anywhere?
>>68002838
They still have to prove they have $115M. The founder already sold a huge share in order to raise funds. IMO this won't cause immediate liquidation, but could cause slow death.
Their defense was 'nigger' and MY HOLOCAUST.
They dont deserve to win on appeal. An appeal should add extra punitive damages.
>>68022468
The website and its Twitter have not said anything, and I wouldn't expect them to until they gather everything and make some decisions.
Individual writers have been crying about it acting like victims and saying how bad this is for free speech (even though Gawker's existence is bad for free speech.)
>>68014720
Amish have on average I think about 7 children.
>>68004165
115 million AND a cock the size of a thermos
