Why Judge Should Have Dismissed Hulk Hogan's Lawsuit Against Gawker

Constitutional law professor Noah Feldman explains why Hulk Hogan's lawsuit against Gawker should have been thrown out before it reached a jury. "The bottom line is simple: Hogan is a public figure who discusses his sexual prowess on Howard Stern's radio show and more or less pre-promoted the sex tape by talking about it on the gossip site TMZ," Feldman writes at Bloomberg View. "Gawker’s constitutional right to publish content the public wants to consume outweighs what little privacy interests a public figure like Hogan may derive from state law."
