News of Gawker’s shuttering has rocked the media landscape, with hot takes further stoking the dumpster fire into which readers and writers see journalism heading. Everyone from confused Florida jurors to storied journalists have been giving their opinion about Univision’s decision to keep Gawker’s other sites alive but kill off Gawker.com.
Then there’s Rob Schneider.
