>In the article, they are styled as a "content writer"

They're also an editor for the newsletter:

"Journalists can be broadcast, print, advertising, and public relations personnel, and, depending on the form of journalism, the term journalist may also include various categories of individuals as per the roles they play in the process. This includes reporters, correspondents, citizen journalists, editors, editorial-writers, columnists, and visual journalists, such as photojournalists (journalists who use the medium of photography)."

>but I guess scare quotes around journalist fits the picture you are trying to draw better?

No drawing any pictures here, they're technically considered a "journalist". QED. The scare quotes are there because journalists "collect/gather information in form of text, audio, or pictures, processes them into a news-worthy form". Except nothing that SJWs opine about is news-worth, hence the quotes. QED.

>They are stating a fact WITH a citation, but it annoys you?

They are not stating facts, and the citation does not have data that supports their conclusions.

>I never understand this false outrage

I'm not a child nor a leftist. Don't misinterpret annoyance with neo-Puritanical performative Wokeism with "outrage".

>Females and minorities have minuscule numbers in tech

This is objectively false.

>having a modest attempt at growing numbers has a big backlash.

"People are upset because they're targeted by my brand of racism/sexism. I don't get it!"

>And in THIS case, the fact cited is that disadvantaged people are MORE likely to lose their jobs.

They're not disadvantaged, and they're overrepresented in the roles that are being reduced (HR). Remember your rule: "any inequality is inequity". Glad they can fire some of these women and hire men in HR since men are underrepresented in these roles.
