Mixed feelings. On the one hand, the people who complained most loudly about this article rewrite should probably examine their motivations. Because I doubt there would have been this level of scrutiny if not for an ugly undercurrent of anti-feminism.
On the other hand, the article deviated so far from the original just-the-facts version, and the "analysis" was so one-dimensional, that it felt like it veered into Fox-News-for-liberals territory. Which should not be worthy of a pre-eminent news publication.
Perhaps "analysis" at a serious news publication should simply not be written hastily just for the sake of mass click appeal.
At any rate, it doesn't seem like it would have been that hard to throw some opinion piece links or an analysis piece link in the suggested/related section.

They did this as part of an experiment in "propogating" viral content. But "propogating propoganda"like this expressly at odds with being the "paper of record".
