Episode 125: Tarpley's Hitt Job Reveals The Sad State Of Gawker 2.0 And We Remember The Railroading Of Andy Signore
Listen now
Description
Gawker is (still) back and (still) worse than ever — just ask Thomas Chatterton Williams. And you may not know the name “Andy Signore,” but if you do it’s probably because he was rather comprehensively #MeTooed back in 2017. Except he provided a lot of evidence to suggest he was innocent — evidence all the media outlets that piled on him seem to have ignored.
