STOCKHOLM SYNDROME:  A year ago, Gawker outed Condé Nast’s CFO. As the similarly left-leaning Huffington Post noted at the time, “It’s true that Condé Nast, which publishes magazines like Vogue, GQ and Vanity Fair, is a powerful company. But the overwhelming opinion of those who registered blistering attacks against Gawker was that David Geithner, the company’s chief financial officer and brother of former Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, did nothing to warrant such a gross invasion of his private life.”

Flash-forward to yesterday. Apparently, it’s either no hard feelings, or a very short memory amongst Vanity Fair’s employees:

Given Gawker’s bankruptcy, as someone tweeted in response, “Soon @Gawker staff will be crushing up coffee beans at Starbucks. So it’s good to get some practice in.”
