@bascule yeah… reporting on tech in the valley is sort of universally crap. That i'll certainly agree on. -
@knowtheory if the VCs who control startup funding also control the tech press, and tech press doesn't disclose COIs, are they reporting? -
@bascule … yes? It's possible to be flawed and do reporting, even slanted reporting that gets at a thing. Not that that's ideal. -
@knowtheory hard to believe the words of a "reporter" have an NPOV when they have huge COIs they don't disclose
