Pete Dodd today lauded the journalistic excellence of the Word of Dodd in a tweet, shortly after taking aim at the broader videogame journalism industry.
Dodd lashed out at journalists while simultaneously defending them from rumors that they were on the take from EA, paid to hype upcoming first-person shooter Titanfall:
No, EA didn't pay journalists. They are unprofessional hype merchants on their own. Because they want to work at the companies they cover.

In a later message Dodd singled out this news outlet, while tactfully refusing to name names, as one of the great journalistic institutions on the Internet.
Last tweet was a generalization, there are some good people out there. They also, by and large, don't go repeat press releases as news.

While we're not one to toot our own horns, we're compelled to share the pride we feel at Dodd's recognition of our efforts to dig deep beneath the surface and uncover the real news of the industry -- all from his Twitter feed. Our promise to you, dear reader, is that we will never regurgitate press releases.
