Kara Swisher writes "Ew" in news articles. Her work is devoid of substance and just pushes an agenda that is populist and will get her likes from the largest group of people on Twitter
There is no better evidence of her bias against Travis and Uber than how she conducted herself in her interview with Adam Lashinsky. Here's the full transcript:

She isn't a journalist. She's an activist pushing an agenda, facts-be-damned. Long gone are the day's of Walter Cronkite's "And that's the way it is."
This is a much broader trend in contemporary media. The line between news and editorial has been all but erased.
Yes, I agree. However, it's one thing to occasionally give an opinion in the course of practicing journalism and something entirely different to steer the conversation towards the message you're trying to push. Kara wasn't even subtle about it this interview. Her bias was not just showing, but on full display for all to see.
It's really unfortunate because the individuals in the general population don't really get the facts and an opportunity to each come to slightly different conclusions. It's journalist malpractice to tell people what to think, since that's not journalism. That's propaganda.
Yup, this doesn't contain any quotes from well placed sources or anything like that nor delivers any new information about, say, Meg Whitman's candidacy. Totally devoid of merit.
