All of their writers have a really formulaic schtick: Paul Carr is the contrarian who knows better than everyone else, MG is the Apple fan, and MA is the guy who really knows what's going on and pretends to be some sort of moral authority over the tech scene. Also, MA is a total hypocrite he ridicules Facebook for trying to trademark 'face' and 'book' but then get's outraged over another person using the word 'crunch'. Poe's law should be mentioned.

I think TC's overall quality has gone down dramatically in the last year or so. I still like the coverage of start-ups because their aren't many other alternatively, but they are ripe for a competitor/disruption.

I also though MG's attack on that single-mom/AT&T rep was disgusting and unnecessary. She says a few things to him on Twitter he doesn't like (akin to throwing a pebble at a tank/castle) and MG basically humiliates her in front of the world and gets her fired for disagreeing with him (like a tactical strike on a defenseless village). It was just... beyond low.
