We don’t seek to do good. We may inadvertently do good. We may inadvertently commit journalism. That is not the institutional intention.

Nick Denton, founder of Gawker Media

I’ve always thought of Denton as an asshole, but now I’m realizing that at least he’s my favorite kind of asshole: one who knows it. Sure, some of what Gawker’s sites run is tabloid worthy headlines, but I’ve found myself reading Gawker, Kotaku, and (gasp!) Jezebel recently.
