How the Tech Press Forces a Narrative on Companies it Covers

Great Aaron! On a side note, I was recently reminded about a tech press fact: I was at a holiday party earlier this month for one of the biggest VC’S in the valley and I was shocked to see a dozen or so “tech reporters” we all know. I thought to myself, “great, what the hell are they all doing here and guess I’ll have to be on my best behavior and not get caught talking in the corner with xyz CEO because there will be another article about an exec leaving Yahoo”. Then I was reminded that the VCs all invest in the tech bloggers so they’ll write about their portfolio companies. Basically it’s one big circle jerk which I’m totally fine with except when the tech press pretends to be impartial.
