I strongly disagree. If they are indeed giving coverage to companies that do not deserve to be covered then that calls into question their credibility entirely.

But how does a pushy email from a founder prove this in any way? Doesn't call TechCrunch's credibility into question at all. (Also, check the update on the original article--the email was apparently sent to VB, not an accidental TC misaddress.)

Define "deserve to be covered".

Hint: Every publication has it's own criteria.

Then again, most of the world is an old-boys club where credibility is secondary to social capital.
