Gawker sneered that Uber is "Ayn Rand's favorite car service."

The next day, Gawker, InTouch, and other U.S. outlets picked up the story, but the Cosby story was still only a blip on Twitter.

“Basically nobody wanted to live in a world where Bill Cosby was a sexual predator,” Tom Scocca wrote at Gawker back in February.

As Gawker recently wrote, the allegations quickly became "something walled off from our collective understanding of Bill Cosby."

Gawker followed suit with a piece by Tyrone Palmer in September.
