I hang my hat at Tumblr
“
[The “I Had A One-Night Stand With Christine O’Donnell” story] was intended to expose the lies and hypocrisy of a U.S. Senate candidate and prominent Tea Party conservative who uses her own purported chastity and righteousness to market herself and gain political power.
So no, we don’t think there’s anything wrong with what Christine O’Donnell did on Halloween three years ago. We think there’s something wrong with what she’s done every day since, though. And we’re happy to expose the hypocrisy.
”Gawker: Why We Published the Christine O’Donnell Story (via caro)
Oh, please. This is no different from Fox’s claim that they are “fair and balanced.” Gawker published an unverified account, tarted it up for maximum sensational value, didn’t even bother to ask O’Donnell for comment, and they’re trying to claim the moral high ground? I’d have a lot more respect for Denton if he just admitted it was linkbait, pure and simple.
