I love some of the crazy stuff[1] that happened inside Theranos in response to Carreyrou's reporting.
> Theranos employees once reportedly chanted, “Fuck you, Carreyrou,” at an all-hands meeting in October of 2015.
> At a company party, Theranos employees played a video game modeled after Atari's Space Invaders: The gun was the miniLab, the bullets the nanotainers and the invader being shot at: Yours Truly!
I know it's fashionable to hate the press, but when it escalates to this level of vitriol it smells of "The lady doth protest too much".

- systemvoltage 4y agoI think this is more of an indictment of the rest of journalism than Theranos. He was swimming against all other journalists who were raving about Elizabeth Holmes. How could you not!? She is charismatic, a woman, and young MIT dropout. We need more journalists like John. There is a shortage of journalists that would stand up for facts even if that meant going against the whole world.
