It was fairly clear to me that after it's "breaking news: Jason Calacanis has an iPad" stories and this nonsense that TechCrunch just makes stuff up to get views. Arrington is to Early Adopters what Ann Coulter is to conservatives. He figures out just what it is that you want it to hear-- truth or not-- and tells it to you.
- cjoh 17y agoI should state that not all conservatives fall for Ann Coulter's nonsense, just as not all early adopters fall for Arrington's nonsense either.
- patrickgzill 17y agoSo Arrington is the neo-con of tech reporters?
- SamAtt 17y agoYou flat out reversed his point. His whole point was that Coulter doesn't have an ideology she just makes up whatever she thinks people want to hear. It's funny how someone's obvious dislike for those who they disagree with can just shut off the "logical thinking" part of the brain.
- cjoh 17y agoSaying that Ann Coulter is a neo-con is like saying Bozo the Clown is an acclaimed stage performer. While her message is conservative themed, her tactic isn't to espouse conservatism, but rather to get people to read her column. The same's to be said for Arrington. It's a problem that all journalism has: the facts and what's popular usually don't mix.
- stcredzero 17y agoActually, I believe that Bozo the Clown is a fellow alum of my alma mater.
- sp332 17y agoSingular alumnus (masculine) or alumna (feminine), often abbreviated "alum" to avoid having to remember any of that :)
