Gawker pathetically commented today on a story that was posted on the Times' "City Room" blog yesterday at 1 PM. What brilliant commentary took this supposedly major media blog 24 hours and 23 minutes to produce? Apparently the writer-subject of the story "sounds like an incredibly nice man."
Thumbs down.

Moment of Reverence for Musical Genius
Most people know Rick Astley as the whitest man with the blackest voice in the history of music. Others respect this native of England for his dapper looks and perfectly-coiffed red hair. Any way you slice it, this deep-voiced British muse will forever hold a place in the hearts of all resilient lovers for his uplifting message, sassy stage-presence and clear reverence for Robert Stack's sense of fashion

Gawker Accellerates Descent to Right Wing Mouthpiece Status
Gawker Headine: "The Terrorists Win: Harvard Bows Five Times (And Once More To Be Safe) To Pressure From Muslim Students"
Gawker links to an op-ed in the Boston Herald that jumps on this "news" as an opportunity to complain about Harvard's track record of allowing famous Muslims to say bad things at the Kennedy School and even, gasp, take money from rich Muslims. An article in the same newspaper covers the "news" story with which the original Gawker "post" was concerned and clarifies as follows:
"The policy only applies to one gym.... Because of its location at the edge of campus, it is the university's least used gym...
"The women-only hours are of minimal inconvenience because they are just six out of the 70 hours a week the gym is open..."
Nick Denton's no poor/dummy; he knows that details such as these can get in the way of a well thought out agenda.
Credit for these quotes goes to Gawker commenter "La Cieca," who notably asks, "Since when did Gawker turn into fark.com?"
UPDATE:
DiSaronno Paparrozzo Blind Item: "Which big-domed gossip blog mogul and university-hating right-wing firebrand were spotted canoodling together in the public sex part of Central Park (that's the north part)?"
Answer: Nick Denton and David Horowitz

Gawker: Older, Fox-ier
"Denton or Murdoch?"
The last two times that I took on the once-funny-now-illiterate media internets site Gawker, I criticized it (1) for an apparent reason and (2) for pretending it still matters when a TV show airs.
Well ever since a geriatric business enterprise mogul took over as head writer, I knew it would only be a matter of time before Gawker's colors stopped running and this golden egg of a "Love it or Leave it!" type headline dropped in my lap. Seriously though Nick, leave the cheap swipes at naive actresses and "the French" for Bill O'Reilly and other wrong-kind-of-white-people. They are better at it than you. I'm outraged by the outrage.

Gawker endeavors to cover Television Media, but too lazy or stupid to use a TiVo.
"Tina Fey hosted the first post-strike SNL this weekend. We didn't watch, obv,
. . .
we just caught it online, the way everyone else will)."
If you just saw it on internets, it's not really Television Media, you stupid fucks.
