I'm blown away by how quickly these events have been unfolding. I wonder if the mainstream media got tuned away for these interviews in favour of Dr. Peterson and Stefan Molyneux. Is this an indication the mainstream media is no longer mainstream or it the topic that makes this an anomaly?
- throwanem 9y agoIt's an indication that there is not a lot of trust in the mainstream media's ability or willingness to fairly hear and represent positions outside the mainstream. I believe Damore is quoted to that effect in the article under discussion.
- zapperdapper 9y agoHaving seen some of the media reaction I'm not surprised! The acidity of the reaction to the memo has been quite breath-taking. Guardian have a piece I was reading this morning saying is was a 'sexist diatribe against women in tech'. Maybe I am reading the wrong memo?
- collyw 9y agoIt was quite pathetic the way they showed screen shots of the outrage on twitter, while failing to provide any links to the source. My opinion of Guardian went down quite a bit yesterday. They are frequently pushing an agenda, but their reporting of this was pretty dishonest (I had read the original before I read the Guardians interpretation).
- zapperdapper 9y agoAh, so it wasn't just me who thought that. My opinion of them went down a few notches too...
- yahna 9y agoI wonder if he turned instead to the alt-right echo chambers.
