I strongly disagree. They produce a lot of biased news geared against startups in Silicon Valley. It almost feels like they're anti-startup news feed. And reading them, as an employee of a startup makes me feel pessimistic and depressed.

News in general will make you feel pessimistic and depressed. If not enraged.

Don't do news.

Media diet is important. IMHO staying aware of local, regional national and global "stuff" is kind of nice, it makes it much easier to be social. Occasionally I encounter stuff I want to know more about. But it takes a light touch. 15 to 30 minutes a day is more than enough.

Yep and ditto for that shit pile known as Gawkwer Media. Techcrunch is another one to be avoided. As far as I can tell the only tech bubble that exists is the one these media companies keep trying to drag into existence.
