Episode Synopsis

Gawker went bankrupt after releasing the Hulk Hogan sex tape, but the scandal uncovered a far bigger threat to the press: billionaires angling to silence the media.

In Nobody Speak: Trials of the Free Press, Director Brian Knappenberger explores how billionaires like Peter Thiel and Sheldon Adelson used their fortunes to censor journalists at Gawker and the Las Vegas Review Journal.
