valleywag.com — Michael Arrington didn't learn much at Wednesday's Blogging Ethics talk. Valleywag reader, Jayson Lim, pointed out that Michael reported on Maya's Mom receiving funding today and referenced an earlier writeup on TechCrunch in April. Except that's not the original article, it's been edited to remove bias disclosure made by Arrington.

bennyboy371, maybe scrutiny is in order because Arrington recently proclaimed: "I think integrity goes far beyond financial interests; in our subjective world conflicts of interest are nearly impossible to define around money alone." <a class="user" href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2006/10/25/social-media-club-initiative-on-blogging-ethics/">http://www.techcrunch.com/2006/10/25/social-media-club-initiative-on-blogging-ethics/</a>In addition, he also recently featured a vintage video clip of Digg's very own Kevin Rose, and criticized: "At no point in the clip does Kevin state that he is the founder or in any way connected with Digg." <a class="user" href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2006/10/26/2004-video-clip-early-digg-demo-by-kevin-rose/">http://www.techcrunch.com/2006/10/26/2004-video-clip-early-digg-demo-by-kevin-rose/</a>Maybe Arrington should look in the mirror, before talking about blogging ethics.

wait a second - a site that only accepts commenters it approves is bashing a site that only accepts comments it approves? this is like a bad Republican campaign commercial. a bit absurd - a bit pathetic.
