Default Gawker-profiled man on death row executed in Texas

I thought this was interesting.

Gawker, as part of a series, published in unedited form a letter from a man on death row.

Apparently this went viral.

And then the victim's brother published a letter.

Gawker was criticized for the way they practice "journalism."

In some ways this is a kind of Rorschach test. Where do your sympathies lie?

As I said, the killer is now dead.
