This is great! MG was one of the reasons I was tempted to unsubscribe from TC. His headlines are over the top to drive traffic, and he is not at all objective when it comes to Apple (for) or Android (against).
Arrington's rant against Caterina Fake was what sealed the deal for unsubscribing from TechCrunch.
Now that I subscribe to HN and GigaOM, I'm better in the loop with less sensationalism.
And since Arrington has been a massive thumbs down for me for some time and Sarah Lacy is just blah, the best bookmarklet-type solution I've found for dealing with Tech Crunch is /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1
Thanks for all the feedback, guys! I started reading TechCrunch a few weeks ago, and many (not all) of MG Siegler's posts stood out because they lacked analysis and tended to overlook facts in favor of sensationalism. Understandably (but regrettably), TechCrunch values being first over being right, so he remains gainfully employed.
I want to make it clear that I don't have anything else negative to say about him other than the above (and it seems like everyone who commented here feel the same way).
I'm going to work on a filter for RSS feeds next. Message me on twitter (@ruhkesh) if you want to keep in touch!
