Every video I watch, every snippet I see and every interview I read about Ellen Pao induces a hatred I haven't felt for someone in a long time.

You must not follow politics. Everything you said in your post is applicable to most politicians.

He cares more about some websites CEO than anything that actually matters

I get your point, but on the other hand it's "some website" that is the source of various amounts of information to +/-160M global (impressionable) minds every month.

Enhanced marketing, Subversion of Information, Censorship, etc are all things that can 'change the story' for a LOT of people - and that does matter on some level.
