Galen Gruman epitomizes what is wrong with tech journalism today. We see it with the iPhone reception debacle and now with Windows Phone 7. Tech reporting is dead.  No one takes the time to test or actually use anything anymore.  They just look for what is wrong, harp on it for 2000 words, and then hope their crap hits the first page of techmeme.   And then when it does, a bunch of no-name traffic scabs repeat what the first idiot says and it becomes a popular meme.  It is getting to the point where the only places to get  “real” reviews of a device are engadget and cnet.  Lets hope these two bastions of actual tech reporting don’t fall.

Update:  For a point of comparison, compare Gruman’s drivel with someone that actually has used and develops for the device.
