You just said she's a reporter who's focused on diversity, and the 3 headlines you quoted look like they're focused on diversity. Without having read the articles, just reading your comment, it kind of looks like she's actually doing her job.

Oh she writes articles alright---terrible poorly researched articles that aim only to light fires under people, and draw numerous eyeballs to Techcrunch.

At this rate, she'll never be fired.

Lighting fires under people about diversity issues actually sounds like something we sorely need.
What diversity problems?
Fully expect to be downvoted, but that's an absurd topic to have at TechCrunch. She's just feeding the constant outrage machine.
The guidelines explicitly ask not to comment on flagging (as you did above) or downvotes. Feel free to express your opinion on TechCrunch or the aforementioned author in a civil and substantive manner (perhaps taking extra care if you're worried you may be downvoted), but follow the guidelines. You're likely to get downvoted for that alone, rather than for the comment itself.

Maybe you're not TechCrunch's intended audience? You sound like you'd be happier reading other things.
