TechCrunch has always been Arrington's blog above all else. He uses it to help his friends and defeat his enemies. Ask Jason Calacanis what it's like when he's your friend (lots of easy coverage) and what it's like when he's your enemy (LAUNCH conf boycott).
Any additional bias he may have because of investments won't be detectable in the mass of existing ones he already exhibits.
- alain94040 16y agoExactly. Once you have watched how the insider game is played in Silicon Valley, being an investor is the least of your conflicts. There are so many weird relationships going on, it's almost like real life. I'm friends with X, Z owes me a favor, etc. None of that stuff is disclosed, because it's just how the world works. Don't get upset about the 5% of cases where MA has a direct conflict or interest, use your own judgment and filters 100% of the time. One of the key values of reading TC is that it offers strong opinions. If you just want to read bland press releases, I can point you elsewhere.
