Techcrunch's credible sources

So Techcrunch used Fake Steve Jobs as their primary source for saying that PodTech is going out of business; do they realize how irresponsible that is? Robert Scoble does.

Duncan Riley's justification:

"We didn’t run it first or second or even third, I sat on it for a couple of hours. Problem was (and is) if we didn’t run it and it turned out to be true later we would have missed covering it." #

Anything to get the scoop, I guess...

    Of course, if they were really concerned, you think they might have tried fact checking by, I don't know, calling Scoble? As he points out, his phone number is listed on his page.
