Dishonesty comes in all shapes and forms and runs through all professions. I bet even some bloggers are (gasp!) dishonest too.
Didn’t Techcrunch break an embargo on Friday?

Stephen, do you think PR is viewed as an industry that tells the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
As for what Techcrunch does, I have no idea, I only follow CrunchNotes. I haven’t read any accusations of embargo breaking, apart from an illiterate commenter on TechCrunch. I do know enough about Mike Arrington - someone who is trusted by many people to whom I am close and whose judgement is impeccable - to know that he is not a dishonest person.
