I'm not looking to get the top comment, it's just an observation. If you feel it doesn't belong here down-vote it.

I don't think my comment is tangential. It helps explain why the original WIRED article didn't offer legitimate criticism of Marc Andreessen.

Another way of looking at it, and probably what WIRED people would say, is that they don't run badmouth stories, ergo if the story was going to have a negative tone they simply might not run it at all.

Critical Analysis and badmouthing aren't the same thing. Plenty of publications get good interviews with polarising figures while critically analysing their achievements.

[rhizome]

Right. I'm speaking of WIRED specifically.

[andrewfelix]

My point is WIRED can critically analyse without badmouthing.

[rhizome]

They could, but they don't.
