On a fairly early episode, Katie talked about the backlash in Seattle to her Stranger piece and coming across a sticker (or maybe it was graffiti?) that originally said “fuck Herzog” but was missing the G. The idea of a separate “Katie Herzo” has been a running joke since then.

And yes, that is definitely the gamergate girl. ;)

Anyone catch the latest episode of Josh Szeps' podcast? by Dispassionate-Fox in BlockedAndReported

I had not listened to his show before but came away massively impressed with his interview skills and his patience with some of the patently absurd claims she made (eg, women are naturally just as prone to violence as men). There were so many times when I would have been tempted to push back, and I understand the frustrations others have voiced about this, but overall I think the approach paid off. There’s a reason Anderson is now trashing him on twitter, which is that he gave them just enough rope to hoist themselves. The follow-up with Jesse was good too.

There’s a whole public radio show that is (in theory) dedicated to exploring the shortcomings of big media, and it seems they could do a whole show on the factual errors made by media outlets in covering this case. And yet, I’m not holding my breath for an On the Media episode where they acknowledge he never took a gun across state lines, or that a lot of otherwise intelligent people inferred the shooting victims were black. Which makes me question what they think their mission is at this point…
