It seems to me that the emphasis from Fake Steve is really more like NYT < bloggers in general, because the newspapers have lost their balls. They've gotten into bed with the politicians and corporations they report on (in some cases they're owned by the corporations they should be working to keep honest), and were doing just fine with their coke and hooker parties until technology began to pull the coke mirror out from under their nose and send the hookers home.

Just because it's fashionable to tear down Arrington and TC, doesn't mean that mainstream media should get a pass in the process.

I think Fake Steve is completely right here. And what he's really talking about has little to do with Arrington and TC.
