That is what I was guessing you meant, but I have never heard anyone say the NYT or Washington Post were frothy examples of newspapers. And it did not seem relevant because the wikipedia page that pg submitted is not expressly about HN culture.

However in order to cover all my bases I added two of pg's own essay titles/headlines to the list to make sure it meets your HN notability requirements.

I intended that to mean "light and frothy general technology news." As I understand it they're respected for the journalism they do but I don't think half of it belongs here.

I'm fairly positive that I didn't imply anything like that. You're the one who keeps bringing the guy up.
