I'm pretty sure the media is the trench coat and always has been.

I'm kind of disgusted by the contempt people in tech have for journalists, when the tech people are the ones who authored the current media ecosystem.

"people in tech" and "the tech people" are very unfortunate generalisations.

Almost like we shouldn't be generalizing an entire professional sector with statements like "I hate journalists", huh?

The blame for the decline in journalism lies squarely at the feet of the architects of the ad based internet economy.

I agree, but that doesn’t mean CNET is a reliable news source.

I agree that CNET sucks, but it's very emblematic of the affiliate marketing bullshit that has infested the internet for a while now.
