It's really hard to tell if they want to be the future PandoDaily or The New York Times.

  It's really hard to understand what this comment means, as it boils down to "it's really hard to tell if they want to be the worst of online journalism or a rival for the best of it". Is there some cue in the writing on this page that suggests that they're hoping to suck?

    The one has a clear focus on tech and startups, the other has a broad network of correspondents spanning the world. In retrospect, PandoDaily would probably make me jump to "terrible journalism", too.

      I see the conclusion I jumped to. You were just saying, "tough to see whether they're launching a tech news site or a global news site". I hope it's more like the latter! I think sites like PandoDaily have a problem similar to the one CNN has: they have a mandate to produce more news content than there is to report. In CNN's case it's because they've commandeered a 24/7 cable channel and entered into a ridiculous competition; in the tech/trade press, it's because they've got such a narrow scope --- and again, because they're in what they perceive as a winner-take-all competition with each other.

  Dustin designed PandoDaily's website. (just kidding)
