While I respect and envy what Arrington has built, I think he’s being disingenuous in casting his dispute with AOL as a fight for “editorial independence.”
His response doesn’t answer his critics’ main charge: That there’s too much conflict of interest between Arrington the investor and Arrington the editor.
Ask yourself how much more value Arrington has as the head of CrunchFund (his new $20 million venture fund) if he manages to retain an editorial role within TechCrunch.
