Yet another example of the kind of abuse of power that writers for "well respected" publications get away with all the time. That shitty NY Times article would have been ignored/laughed at on its own, but hosted on nytimes.com it becomes credible and generally beyond reproach. A permanent black mark on Zynga's reputation.
Now Arrington reveals that it's essentially a hitjob by scorned investors and direct competitors. Big fucking surprise.
All hail independent writers. Down with "well respected" media brands.
- philwelch 15y ago> Now Arrington reveals that it's essentially a hitjob by scorned investors and direct competitors. He reveals nothing of the kind. It's speculation. And frankly, the chummy relationships in the Valley itself are really no better. Plus, Arrington's entire schtick as a startup blogger/investor depends on a frothy startup environment, which another dud IPO--namely Zynga--would directly endanger.
- makomk 15y agoArrington in particular has a well-deserved reputation for ignoring good journalistic practices, writing and publishing hit pieces on startups that don't jump through hoops when he asks them to, and similar doesn't he?
