While I kind of agree, I think the incentives in place are what is driving this. I find it hard to imagine that you can appeal to people to "behave well" and imagine that they ever will. Enjoy your rant, and I'll enjoy mine when I get annoyed at the lack of quality found so often, but it's not going to get fixed anytime soon. If we can remove the rewards that are in place for low quality activity then we might get somewhere! Can’t chat long, I have a zillion things to blast out… just kidding!

TC is since a long time <em>no blog</em> anymore, but the tech mainstream online newspaper for the web-two-zero. Most of the posts are only quick blurps anymore and Arrington has mentioned several times that he doesn't express his opinion that much anymore as when he started. Where TC months ago really <em>opinionated</em> was, nowadays sometimes I think reading a press release. Paul, especially in the case of TC you have forgotten something.

We ALL make factual mistakes and omit obvious details to slant a story in the direction we want it to go. Any blogger that disagrees is full of it. That's why we can't or won't get jobs writing on dead trees. Who the hell wants to be a writer? Such a one-way endeavor, boring and not enough focus on how important we are. Plus, we would have to be accountable to a higher standard and couldn't throw such great parties. Don't get me wrong you all are entertaining to read as you learn how to blog (and some will never fully learn) but in a few years when you are videoblogging and looking back at print blogs as quaint you'll get just as much wrong in your posts as you do now. Come to think of it, this article was boring and a total retread, I like the comments much better, especially from those disparaged in the original post.
