How Uber Backers Orchestrated Kalanick’s Ouster as CEO

You can do the same trick that used to work with Google, but with Facebook instead. Search the text of the title in Facebook and follow the link through.

Could also probably modify some header or something to achieve the same thing.

Non-paywall version?

Also if you run into an adblock-wall, use Brave, it can skip around most of those.

So is anyone else aggravated by the use (ever since the Arab Spring coverage started) of "ouster" instead of "ousting"? how the heck do so many progressionals screw this up systematically?

Same can be done with twitter search.

http://grammarist.com/usage/ouster/

"For the sense of ouster meaning ejection or dispossession, the Oxford English Dictionary lists British examples from more than two centuries before the United States was founded. And for the sense defined as the removal of a politician or regime from power, the earliest examples are likewise British. The first was published in 1782."

Gotta be careful when playing language pedant!
