Yes it is hard, but Twitter was down a lot. Was Blaine fired? I met netik at a conference just before he was hired by Twitter - great guy, knows his shit. I am not saying that they shouldn't be challenged on the accuracy of their claims, I am saying that they are learning as they go. That post was a bit personal, the next one won't be. Judging by the hit rate outlined in the post above Arrington seems to have learnt a lot about how to handle sources, stories etc. But ignoring him completely based on a few examples from years ago seems wrong. By your reckoning I seriously would have nothing left to read atm (especially the NYTimes) - I still read it all though because I take everything at face value. I am not going to exclude myself from an entire slice of online media just because 2,3,4 or 5 or 10 blog posts out of thousands that provide me so much information and value.
