Anonymous, crowdsourced, Sybil-prone “Truth” isn’t a good idea, and as a reaction to his own self-inflicted troubles is very childish indeed. He’s getting flack for being thin-skinned and bombastic, and that’s fair. He gets credit where it’s due too, such as SpaceX.

I agree that his proposed crowd sourced-news credibility system is a terrible idea, but I think he's getting flack because he's daring to stand up to the media establishment. Of course they are circling the wagons, but I stand by my original statement that they are not beyond reproach.
