K&R taught fundamentals and a good style. It is timeless classic, because the principles doesn't change within successions of mass hysteria. Plan9 dialect of C is another example. There is portable mk package, with includes core libs (libbio, libutf, etc. which also served as core libs for earlier versions of Golang) to appreciate what C supposed to be. I would paraphrase - attention seeking by attacking classics is a poor style.
