The tech world deserves better than TechCrunch

It concerns me how much influence TechCrunch has and how willing it is to use the influence to coerce start ups. Do sources like Mashable and Read Write Web do the same thing?

Agreed. I can't even take TechCrunch seriously. They continuously lace every other story with opinions. I want real reporters, not blowhards.

Boring ;)

I think there's a good reason many people watch The Daily Show instead of the evening news. Or TMZ over Entertainment Tonight.

Or TechCrunch instead of NY Times Bits Blog (http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/)

What you want is out there, it's just not interesting enough to keep going back to in my opinion.

This. I've always found the TechCrunch writers to be huge egoists.

Probably not, but only because they don't have the requisite influence. If they had the influence, they would probably do so.
