Jesse Jackson had an AMA that went horribly, but I don't know how or why that would be her fault:

reddit is becoming a place to do PR, corporate shill, and advertise. to do that effectively they need to limit user speech so they can drive a hivemind that is easily controlled. you can't have hard hitting questions getting voted to the top, you need to kill them in their infancy, and i would not be surprised if the jesse jackson thing was the reason for this all.
