It doesn't stop this topic from being completely inane, but he's really talking about the tech community's reaction to these stories, not the facts themselves.

It doesn't stop this topic from being completely inane, but he's really talking about the tech community's reaction to these stories, not the facts themselves. He gets a little lost in the weeds, but I think the real points are: - "dear tech news sites: you are terrible reporters" - "dear tech news site readers: you guys lap this stuff up, so we only have ourselves to blame" witness, for instance, the meteoric rise of this post on HN's front page.
