I only read half the article because I figure if you can't say anything nice.. or at least not air out your dirty laundry in public then I don't want to read it. Too much of that stuff on tv with all the celebutants, just expected more from Tech Crunch and Wired. I like TC and Wired, but professionalism.. or not stooping to someone elses low is nice.

It all gets a little complicated, since Wired print and Wired.com were in the hands off different owners from '98 - '06, but Wired.com was bound to print the mags articles despite that. I guarantee it'll be hard to find where Wired mentions Advance's interest / investment in properties that were subject's of articles. Discovery communicatons for instance? Time Warner cable?
