I'm not sure I see the hypocrisy. Dalrymple and Gruber in particular are very opinionated and know what they like. They prefer Apple to the point that if Android were better they would be the last to know because their worldview is already formed.
However, passing on a link that matches their worldview but may have factual inaccuracies is not the same as writing something that is complete bullshit. In other words, it's not their job to fact check other people's writing. Maybe they would be better journalists if they did, but if some factual inaccuracies slip into some of their links it's not the same as writing them up themselves.
Now it may be a question of degree; if they are posting blatantly false rumors about Android on a regular basis, that would be news to me and maybe I'd get in line with you. My impression is that they are pretty good factually (selectivity is not the same as factual correctness). But I don't read either of them precisely because I find their cheerleading tiresome and I'd rather read something that offers me personally a new perspective, so maybe they've slid down the slippery slope and I just haven't noticed.
