I'm Shmacked - Silicon Valley billionaire and Donald Trump delegate Peter Thiel has defended his legal attack against Gawker Media by claiming the company “routinely published thinly sourced, nasty articles that attacked and mocked people.” At the same time, he has insisted that reporters should not be alarmed by his role in destroying an independent media outlet. “It’s precisely because I respect journalists that I do not believe they are endangered by fighting back against Gawker,” he told the New York Times.
