I have read a couple of different op-eds about the recent step down of Pao. I wish I could say of how surprising I was on how far off most of these writers are with what was truly happening over there at Reddit. Pao was the tip of the iceberg. We all know it, they don't.

That's the problem with modern journalism, they don't do research or try and find out the details of what they're reporting about. A lot of it is kneejerk reporting or it seems like they just get on the bandwagon, piggybacking what other uninformed news sources report.

"When news broke today that New York Times executive editor Jill Abramson was being replaced, it was surprising in that she has only been in the position for three years. It was more surprising when NPR and New Yorker reporters explained a big reason why: she had complained about unequal pay after she discovered she was being paid “considerably less” than the male editor, Bill Keller, that she had replaced."

Low paid editor replaced highly paid editor?
The only thing unusual about that is saying 'editor' instead of 'worker'.

Their recent edits to the pao article after it was published showcase the double standards even more.

The last three edits switch between "sexist" and "male-dominated".
It's like they are the propaganda wing of a culture war.
