Gawker only agonizes over ruining lives when it’s one of their own in the cross-hairs.
Via Hollywood Reporter:
“It was an editorial call, a close call around which there were more internal disagreements than usual. And it is a decision I regret.”
Gawker has pulled its controversial story about Condé Nast CFO David Geithner allegedly soliciting a gay escort.
Gawker managing editor Nick Denton released the following statement: “Yesterday evening, Gawker.com published a story about the CFO of Conde Nast texting an escort. It was an editorial call, a close call around which there were more internal disagreements than usual.
And it is a decision I regret … The point of this story was not in my view sufficient to offset the embarrassment to the subject and his family.
