It's a sad state of affairs when someone like Angwin is ousted because she stood in the way of what appears to be the formation of another Vox/Gawker clone. Hopefully she and her editorial staff manage to pick up somewhere else with the original vision.
- danso 7y agoI definitely lean toward sympathizing with Angwin, but it's worth noting that this characterization is under dispute. The other two co-founders deny that they wanted to dilute the mission. And Angwin also says that while this bothered her, it was still something under discussion rather than decided upon: > Angwin told CJR she didn’t know “where we were going to land on this advocacy or neutrality question, maybe we could have reached a compromise. But the fact is she was pushing really hard for stuff that I was feeling uncomfortable with.” https://www.cjr.org/analysis/the-markup.php https://www.cjr.org/analysis/the-markup.php
