Excellent analysis of the misinterpretation of James Damore by the media:

In the days before social media, most papers at least tried to keep separation between editorial opinions and news. Now we get opinions being presented as indisputable facts, leading to every-increasing polarisation and growth of echo-chambers.We quantified these distortions: CNN, The New York Times and The Washington Post received overall integrity ratings of 12 percent, 17 percent and 20 percent, respectively (lower scores mean less objectivity). On the other hand, we found Damore’s memo used more nuanced arguments and varied perspectives, and it received a rating of 74 percent.
Mainstream media needs to be relabelled as the opinion media.
I use the news agencies like Reuters for factual reporting now, it isn't perfect but it's vastly superior to having my opinions formed for me by The Guardian or The New York Post.
