Not about this article in particular, but at a meta-level, I want to give an up-vote to the media criticism, both postings and dissections in the comments on HN; of which, this post and the comments is a good example. Some may say it clutters-up the news postings and is off topic (and they have a point). It might be good if postings could be divided into three categories, "pure" HN, media, and other general.
