It is striking how honest this journalist is being about purposely determining the slant of stories (rather than being driven by the facts at hand). He used to have a general positive impression of the startup community, so he chose to write positive stories about individual startups. Now he has a general negative impression and he chooses to write negative stories about individual startups. You only see that sort of honesty because he's convinced himself he sees the overarching truth so clearly.

It's one thing to be driven by facts, calling out bad things when you see them, this reads like an opinion piece saying "they still haven't learned". And "they" is wildly generalized. It seem that "entrepreneur" is becoming synonymous to "arrogant, sexist asshole", and if think that, you're actually creating another problem, not solving the existing one.
