>What is the Guardian's agenda here?
To make money by getting clicks/selling papers. This story deals with the coolest company led by the coolest CEO in the coolest sector and that same sector is known for having "problems" with women. Of course it's a story.
- J-dawg 9y agoIt get it. It just saddens me that basically all media outlets are in the business of clickbait now. Even supposedly 'good' ones like The Guardian. Everything is twisted into the most sensationalist phrasing possible.
- frgtpsswrdlame 9y agoWell there is still hope. Buzzfeed is doing some good journalism now. To me it seems like the sensationalism is a necessary evil to make the big bucks but maybe the long, detailed articles are also necessary for reputational reasons. It pushes more responsibility for filtering out crap onto the reader but if it allows good journalism to survive then I'm okay with it.
