I think it depends. I've seen some decent discussion of TechStars on here before. I'm sure there is a Harvard and Yale aspect to it it as well. But overall I think that HN is a fairly impartial site. I would be much more inclined to think that people just didn't like the article then think they were boycotting TechStars.
In this specific case, there was a better article from TechCrunch covering the same info. I just didn't see it before submitting. Also, it was upvoted quite decently.

I globally agree on HN fairness, was just curious on recent posts.
