national post has the temerity to call her a "tenacious voice for victims" as if the Rehtaeh Parsons column isn't still hosted on their website

I think my own antipathy towards her was in place before any of the things itemized here--in the '90s, at the Sun.

Yeah, there was an exceptional element of cruelty that really did make her the worst.

The answer is still Barbara Kay:

Here is what HBG should have done: First, publicly wished Ronan Farrow a polite but firm farewell. Then sought out the protest ringleaders amongst its staffers and summarily fired them. Finally, sent all employees a memo notifying them that institutional loyalty and deference to executive decisions are standpoints of HBG culture. Staffers who chose not to resign should have been expected to respect these principles in the future or face consequences. Plum jobs in publishing are not a dime a dozen. These strategies would have worked like a charm.
