Murdoch's media isn't the only problem. Case in point Guardian who led the crusade against sexist Tim Hunt:

(god bless (:P) Dawkins, the only one who doesn't bow to idiotic genderwars pressure)
Looks like outragists are going to lose this one (the definition fits perfectly in this case: http://blog.dilbert.com/post/1094823...-the-new-awful )

edit: daily mail corrected their article, 'journalist' from guardian still defiant, stop defending tim hunt! (archive as that clickbaiter doesn't deserve any clicks)

bit of faith restored as comments overwhelmingly are not buying that bullshˇt narrative

edit2: oh wow, daily mail took a look at the 'journalist' and she is indeed a weird one:
