From someone who saw the whole gamergate incident happen live, there is a big issue in most big journalist companies and sites not trying to get a balanced perspective.
In video game journalism, the gamergate scandal was minor to most gamers who did not care about the indie game reporting scene, but the moment something around 10 different major gaming journalism outlets published similar articles on the same day declaring 'gamers are dead', there was a huge idealogical split between the major video game press sites, and their viewers.
You had all these big video game journalism sites calling anyone who disliked and did not support Zoe Quinn a basement dwelling fat mysoginist, when she was known as pretty awful person in video game circles before the scandal because of her personality and actions.
The mainstream press never took a look at the gamers side, and usually reported the 'victim of mysoginist male gamers angle' when the incident entered the public eye.
Breitbart was the only big outlet that dug into the scandal and gave the perspective of the gamergate side.
