Indeed. Also, this is traditional journalism, done in a new medium. TechCrunch is the new medium (Blogging) with a rough journalism slant. There is a real life comparison too; TechCrunch is like the tabloid papers - they have all the content, plus the biases and the speculation and a bit of trash. The New Yorker content is like the Business dailys - curt, to the point, aimed at people who want to know the facts, plus sensible analysis from people who understand the context in detail (and are writing from academic interest as much as commercial).
