Is there a distinct swing towards more stories that are less critical of the "screed" now? Or just that more are making it onto the front page here?

It feels like there was an initial almost universal condemnation in the press, followed by a shift as the days passed. Not a complete shift, but more stories that were either less critical, neutral, or slightly supportive.

Prior to having read what was written, or seen the company fire him, people generally towed the line of "pro-diversity". Once it was publicly available, and after he was fired as a direct result of it, people took a step back and thought about it. We have more information now, so the tone now is more likely to be accurate.
