Are you sure about this? "Every post" is a strong statement.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Mr. Arrington is an implicit investor in YC, through the Angel Fund, and Techcrunch gave the YC startups a ton of coverage lately. The few articles that I read in the early going made no reference to this fact.
YC startups have been given lots of press for years. You may be right, I don't know the specifics of the terms but YC startups have always had a lot of coverage because they're YC startups.
I've seen far more bias from the mainstream press tech reporters towards certain startups. All these journalists seem to be hired by a number of startups. Seems like some are just reporting to help their career.
