They are biased. They are cry babies. They want attention. Stop giving it to them. TC & Pando stories should be banned from HN.
Add.: Maybe it's my introverted nature, but it really seems that this industry is heading to a place where if you aren't a complete arrogant ass without shame who can strut around going "Look at me I'm so cool! Look what I do!", your project won't get any mainstream attention. It makes me sad.
Then there needs to be an alternative. Anything Arrington, Lacy, etc. are affiliated with will be plagued with corruption, terrible writers, and self-important nonsense.
There doesn't need to be an alternative if what we have now is effective for YC companies. This isn't a moral issue. You might have an easier time finding an alternative to HN.

I don't think that's "this industry", I think it's "every industry". And I'm not sure it's a new thing, either.

That's not going to happen, because those sites are useful to YC companies.

Useful for one thing but pollution for another.
Oh, I agree with you that it makes HN worse.
