I was surprised the other day by this tweet from a TC editor signaling which PR firms are favored if you want to get your stories published.

I honestly think PRWeb is a more trustworthy source of industry news than TC.

I remember being shocked by pg's post on this. http://www.paulgraham.com/submarine.html

Also, on the subject of news sites with no credibility, most of Forbes's online content is from "contributors" (pretty much anyone) who don't really have any oversight. So if you see something there, think of it like someone's blog.

Those aren't PR firms, they're individual PR people at specific firms (Facebook, Twitter, etc.)
