Deliberately misleading article. The community was mad at Doreen because they held a vote on whether to send someone to the Fox interview, and the consensus was NO. She violated an explicit choice of the community, and this complaint has been clearly articulated from day 1 of the aftermath.
No mention of it in the article, though.
And even the small things are misleading:
> the classic thread “whats your job on the leftist commune??”[1], in which everyone plans to lead discussion on theory and make lattes and there’s nary a Coal Mining Enjoyer to be found
That's blatantly false. Second column, next to last tweet:
> Hard labor. Something rewarding I can do with my hands. Maybe something intellectual later in life. I'm just tired and don't want to think too hard right now in my life.
You can argue about how many hard laborer will be necessary, and how quickly this user would change their mind, but this is not what the article is arguing.
I didn't find the post an honest description of the event. Flagged.

Anyway, it doesn't really matter whether Doreen stood for the original ethos or the newer sterilized version that apparently would have consisted of the majority of votes, fact is that she didn't do a good job representing either in the interview. They really should have considered using a professional spokesperson who knows how to handle a live roast on national tv, if they actually had voted that someone participate.
