Who's apologizing now?
Gawker, albeit a little tongue in cheek, to LA Weekly's Nikki Finke, entertainment writer, for, well, a comment to John Friedman, who Nikki doesn't like, about Nikki being "crazy....good crazy or bad crazy....", or something like that. It's all here, including email exchange:
"She thinks we have defamed her, and she has repeatedly demanded a correction and apology. So here it is: We’re sorry, and we in no way meant to suggest that Finke is actually, clinically crazy. Indeed, after the jump, please find our entire email exchange with her on this matter, which will show that she’s not crazy in the slightest.

How dare you say something slanderous like that when you don’t even know me. Tell me, given all my hard-nosed and accurate reporting, just when and how did you decide I was crazy? We not only have never met, we’ve never had a single phone conversation. What gives you the right to make such a diagnosis (and how Friedman could have printed it is beyond me.) Why then did you send me 20 emails trying to get together with a crazy person in LA?"
