I just read the first couple paragraphs of the NYTimes piece on the Ellen Pao Verdict. I don't think I was entirely sold on media gender bias until right this minute.

"mesmerized Silicon Valley with its salacious details while simultaneously amplifying concerns about the lack of diversity in the technology industry."

"Even with her loss in the case, Ms. Pao’s suit succeeded in prompting debate about women in technology and venture capital, said Deborah Rhode, a law professor at Stanford University."

“This case sends a powerful signal to Silicon Valley in general and the venture capital industry in particular,” Ms. Rhode said. “Defendants who win in court sometimes lose in the world outside it.”

"Kleiner and its lawyers did little to celebrate the win... Kleiner issued a statement saying it was committed to supporting women."

For a journalist like me, this is mindblowing. These perspectives aren't buried in the piece, which would provide color for both sides, which you're supposed to do as a reporter, these are the first few paragraphs. They quote some random Law Professor at Harvard about how it's actually a victory for women's rights, before they even quote the winners of the case. Or even the losers of the case for that matter!

I'm speechless. I just don't even know what to say right now. The NYTimes actually is completely and utterly slanted towards a political position. They're not even hiding it anymore. There's an actual war going on. Holy shit there's an actual war going on!
