Hacker News Reader

Having seen some of the media reaction I'm not surprised! The acidity of the reaction to the memo has been quite breath-taking.

Guardian have a piece I was reading this morning saying is was a 'sexist diatribe against women in tech'. Maybe I am reading the wrong memo?

It was quite pathetic the way they showed screen shots of the outrage on twitter, while failing to provide any links to the source.

My opinion of Guardian went down quite a bit yesterday. They are frequently pushing an agenda, but their reporting of this was pretty dishonest (I had read the original before I read the Guardians interpretation).

Ah, so it wasn't just me who thought that. My opinion of them went down a few notches too...

It's an indication that there is not a lot of trust in the mainstream media's ability or willingness to fairly hear and represent positions outside the mainstream. I believe Damore is quoted to that effect in the article under discussion.

I wonder if he turned instead to the alt-right echo chambers.
