Gawker Editorial Staff Upset Post Was Deleted

The idiocy continues.

It has been one long damn day for Gawker. The latest development is that editorial staffers are angry that the business side of Gawker deleted the gross post which outed a married media executive.

Gawker editorial staff posted the following statement:

Our union drive has expressed at every stage of the process that one of our core goals is to protect the editorial independence of Gawker Media sites from the influence of business-side concerns. Today’s unprecedented breach of the firewall, in which business executives deleted an editorial post over the objections of the entire executive editorial staff, demonstrated exactly why we seek greater protection.
