This article makes many sweeping generalizations and references unattributed sources and people.
This is barely journalism - anybody can make unfounded accusations, but to indict an entire sector of industry based on 2 past incidents and one current pending unsubstantiated one is ridiculous.
- skybrian 10y agoJournalists do often report on what they learned from anonymous sources. No, it's not transparent, intentionally so. When that happens, you need to decide whether you trust the journalist to vet their sources.
- jimmywanger 10y agoIndeed. From her profile: > Megan Rose Dickey is a reporter at TechCrunch focused on diversity, inclusion and social justice. One of her latest articles: > Dear White People, You Suck At Diversity Most of her articles come with a huge SJW slant. The second title is directly racist. Also, it's odd that her article comes out the day after the Uber allegations. Her use of anonymous sources and clearly biased views predisposes me to discount her vetting, especially with her profile and background.
