> I do not think you can win an argument that the Times tried to spin the Victoria Taylor issue out of the article.

That's not exactly what I said, and certainly nothing I meant to imply. Allow me to try again:

The article ignored the complaints expressed by the moderators.



The article also ignores the fact that Pao didn't fire Taylor, and that the issue of how AMAs were going to be moderated was in Ohanian's portfolio, not hers.

That fact is more material to the article than the specifics of the moderator complaints about Taylor --- for instance, it speaks to the difficult situation Pao was in managing a team that included Reddit's charismatic founder and the chairman of the company, in an operational role. But it also isn't in the article.


Surely Pao must have signed off on the decision at some point?
