Amusing but sadly apt. The most interesting aspect of this case was the extreme difference between how it was reported and what the jury found to be factual.
It went so far that the NYT ended up editing stories after they were posted and admitting to changing their strategy to no longer report "just the facts":

So many outlets uniformly reported that Pao WAS the victim of gender discrimination and she WAS on a crusade to represent women in tech. Not an exaggeration, those thing were actually being said.
I have yet to see any of the outlets that reported this angle backtrack, even after the verdict came out against Pao.
