Though, I also actually read the article. So that might be why I can't sympathize with most of the comments here. The idea that wealth should be able to dismantle journalism is something I wouldn't think GAF would sympathize with so much.
They aren't sympathizing with the how, more the what. It was probably the worst way for something good to happen. I would rather have them survive the lawsuit, but for the same reason I'm glad when the ACLU wins cases for undesirables. Not for the defendant, but for the precedent.
Same as this case. Terrible defendant, more terrible verdict. So it sucks, but I won't shed many tears for the site.
