The same thing occurred with the Fox debate that almost happened that Sanders was on board with and Trump backed out at the last minute before it was announced.
Yup. I just don't remember the groundswell of support for that one the way this one is being positioned. I mean, its all over politico/tpm/twitter, and you have stuff like this:
If the proposed debate between Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump comes to fruition, it would be phenomenal, Republican National Committee chief strategist and communications director Sean Spicer said Thursday.
I think it would be a phenomenal debate if it happened, Spicer told CNN.

For the record, I don't think its gonna happen, but it feels different.

Trump is way too fucking lazy to do this debate, come the fuck on, people.
Its pretty shocking though that the ball is in his court, wth Bernie.

He doesn't even prepare for debates and it took him months to hire any staff other than felons to do work for him. He spends all of his time watching CNN. He's lazy as shit.

Andrea Mitchell has such a hard on for HRC's emails.
1000ft from the Islamic Center, but only 25ft from the nearest manhole cover leading to the Lizardman Center.
Weaver on a roll today
Noting a report that quoted a Clinton source remarking that DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz "poured gasoline on the fire" in the wake of the chaos of the Nevada Democratic Convention, Weaver told MSNBC's "Andrea Mitchell Reports" that she "really escalated the situation."
What Wasserman Schultz did is "really not the role a party chair should traditionally play," Weaver continued. "I mean, if you look at the Republican side, the party chair there has been working day and night to try and you know, keep everybody together and to try unify the party."
"And I think we need a similar effort on the Democratic side," he said.

It's a good thing Sanders hired two incompetent morons to run his campaign otherwise we'd be looking at a very different contest.
Was there really no one else for Sanders to pick besides tweedledee and tweedledum?

He calls for party unity and this is how you spin it.

By that assertion DWS should get unconditional surrender by the Sanders campaign like GOP has done to unify behind Trump.

the gakwer thread has got me scared for peoples respect for the 1st amendment.
gawker can be trash. but the whole point of the free press is we put up with trash for the good stuff. I don't want rich people dictating what good journalism is

Yep.
The point is not Gawker in and of itself. It's abuse of our justice system to stifle speech.

I wonder if Reince Priebus just starts sobbing occasionally.
I mean jeez. That dude messed up. He let the patients run the asylum and now he has no way of getting it back so he just smiles and waves and pretends it's all going to be fine while his entire party slowly decays into a huge joke.
The idea that he's doing a good job at anything is ridiculous. He's getting the boot as soon as possible, and I wouldn't be surprised if he just up and walks out instead of sticking around until he's officially done.

Like 5% of the population cares about the first amendment.
People on GAF only pretend to care about freedom of speech because they dislike black women telling them things.
I mean, I agree with this, but at the same time, Gawker pretty clearly knew they were breaking the law and opening themselves up to liability and they went for it.
Rich people don't define journalism, but surely somebody defines it, and probably those definitions will make their way into law, right?
Zero votes were counted wrong? That sounds pretty suspicious! We need to do a recount.

Bernie has gotten continuously owned over the last few weeks, dear god.
Not really stifling speech though. Gawker outed Theil for no reason, it's not like they printed something mean about him. They crossed lines no one else would ever cross and got hit for it. The system worked as it's supposed to in this case.
It did make it's way into law, which is why Gawker got fucked. We're pretty much taught on day 1 that libel is bad and libel leads to you getting sued. That there's a difference between a public and private figure, that stories should be measured against the public's right to know. Gawker routinely ignored all of that.

I mean i'm of the opinion pretty much everything is journalism if it doesn't have malicious intent. I don't think gawker ever got to that point.
and I don't think its clear gawker broke the law with the hogan stuff. And they clearly didn't with the thiel is gay article
And outing the Conde Nast CFO was journalism?
Stories are supposed to be measured by how much the public cares about it vs do they have a right to know it. People don't need to know a person is gay if they're closeted except in very specific circumstances. There's a reason everyone basically united against Gawker when they outed that guy last year. It's not newsworthy.

Is the state supposed to police outings? We in this thread have discussed Aaron Schock
and shepard smith obvious homosexuality. Should we be sued?
I mean it sucks to defend pretty bad stuff but once we start going down that path we get the UK with its stupid super injunctions

Plinko was like nearing 100% on being sure of a contested convention. I took out all of my shares on that and it was all for naught.
A Facebook friend posted about this recount. I'm tempted to post a link to this in reply. Maybe I'll just let it lie.
Aided a blackmailer in blackmailing and then outting a private citizen?
Deliberately ignoring a judges order to take down a video?
