Maybe he needs to hear it over 9000 more time before he finally gets it. Gawker no longer owns Wonkette. They haven't for years. How this got by Denby, his editors, and his fact checkers is astounding as it is easily searchable on the Google. Also, David Denby eats babies. Also.
It amazes me that David Denby continues to assert, falsely, that Wonkette is owned by Gawker - it isn't, and hasn't been for some time now. For someone who holds fact-checking in such high esteem, it's doubly surprising, and more than a little bit hypocritical.
His claim that Gawker blogs are all snark-fests like Wonkette (paraphrasing) is just patently false. Fact-checking this claim, which would take seconds, would reveal that Gawker's Media Network includes a number of high-cred blogs (e.g., Lifehacker, Gizmodo) that are anything but snarky or lazy. Further demonstrates that Denby is guilty of some of the very same accusations he levels against Wonkette and their ilk.

But I'd have to say the thing I enjoyed most was the creepy hand-scratching motion Denby engaged in during the last 20 seconds of this video...
