Agreed. Like him or hate him, Arrington is the reason we all read Techcrunch. If he started his own site, we'd all read that instead in an instant.

Journalism needs guys like this who cause waves, it's what seperates mediocre journalism from real talent. And Arrington certainly had a way of making enemies.

I'm hoping he starts his own site soon.

No, it's not. Good investigation and objective reporting is what the industry needs. Link-baiting and sensationalism are generally bad for constructive communication.
