TWiT TV The new face of tech journalism ?. Discuss.

At the same time that Cnet has been sliding away into obscurity, Leo Laportes' little experiment seems to have paid dividends, with a move to a huge new Studio complex from what is basically a suburban house, his canny investment in bringing over Tom [merritt] & Jason [howell] from Cnet & designing a new raft of shows dropping the very small niche shows or rolling their content into other shows the addition of regular guests like Darren from Hak5 & Iyaz Aktar only improve the quality & diversity of opinion, where Cnet is becoming more like a paid advertisment, TWiT is actuall defining a new model in tech Journalism. Truly unbiased & a dearth of opinion make for good watching I.M.H.O.

Cnet's downhill slide.

I used to love Cnet, their pod-casts/vodcasts , Buzz out loud, Cnet to the rescue & the 404. But recently I have noticed a marked degeneration in the quality of the broadcasts but in the quality & perceived bias of the Hosts.The worst amongst these is Brian Tong whom think's the sun shines out of Steve Jobs' Arse, Hypocritically & siccophantically, even in his assesments of Apple Products he will Give you the bad points & then sit there & justify every one.
The Gorgeous Molly Wood, seems to have become terribly distracted, regularly absent from her main gig on BOL, is this because they are working her too hard after the Departure to TWiT of Jason howell & Tom Merritt who were the Dynamic duo of Cnet.I think she made a mistake of not accepting Leo [laporte's] offer of a job. I believe she would have been much happier, you can see that she really dosn't like Brian Tong much or respect his opinions.
Anyway I won't be watching any Cnet Podcasts except The 404 until Brian Tong is Gone. he ruins them for me.
