So profoundly disappointed in not just the NY Times but all the media coverage. The story is not that Travis has ordered an investigation - it's that Uber is a cesspool. And for those who are saying "do you have evidence" - please... Like we ALL don't know what working at Uber is like. Cmon man.
Only in the court of public opinion does "Cmon man--you know it's true" hold any value. On the whole it's not looking very good for Uber, but it's hard to say with any certainty until facts materialize.
The main stream media caters its reporting to maintain access. Alternative media tends to do likewise. A reporter whose beat is Silicon Valley tech companies has to maintain access to those companies so that they can get an email from the CEO when the story breaks. If the reporter spent significant time muck raking the employment practices of the tech industry, the reporter would be frozen out. The Anti-Trust collusion case wasn't based on a story that some reporter broke or news outlet broke.
