This morning, we posted a blog
about a misogynist freelancer who is writing for BaristaNet. The reporter,
Steven Maginnis, has a creepy blog following hundreds of “women I like, that I
want to share with others” and has loosely thrown around the word “bitch” to
describe many women on one of his other blogs.
When we tweeted
about our blog post to BaristaNet informing them of their repulsive freelance
writer, BaristaNet blocked our Twitter account. Not exactly inspiring transparency from our local media.
We need better accountability in our community. A reporter like
this, who has obvious issues, shouldn’t be trusted with reporting on the issues
important to all of us. BaristaNet should remove this misogynist from their
staff.
