Chen also, throughout the article, took massive liberties framing Reddit's defense of VA's postings. While I don't think you argue effectively for allowing that content (imo, at the end of the day) Chen spun the other side's arguments, and did absolutely zero honest exploration of the philosophy from the other side. I went more in depth with my rant above, which was almost nothing at all. It cannot, if we are being honest, be considered journalism at all, nor was it attempting to be. File this one under vendettas, page views, and gossip.
