While Swisher might make the occasional jabs at the “man-boys” of Silicon Valley, as she refers to them in her book, she’s desperate to be in their circles and part of the power game. She’s chosen a few CEOs to more regularly criticize now that they don’t give her the access she craves, but there are many more whose narratives she will happily help turn into the official record whenever it will help them.
Paris does not hold back on this one nor should they. If Swisher weren’t so loud about how she “calls it like she sees it” then this wouldn’t be as bad, it’d just be like every other access journalist.
