Pitchfork Media, a leading music resource on the web, has had its fair share of critics over the years, even anti-Pitchfork web sites have sprung up. Now that's some disgruntled folks. For everyone that complains, there's about 200 others who agree. Is that right Peoria?Something like that. We do music here, not statistics.
Yet the heat has been turned up in recent months as more mainstream news and magazines dig into the reporting, motivations and backgrounds of some of the Pitchfork Media management and staff.
The lastest to stick a hot fork in Pitchfork questionging the popular online music site's reputation and journalistic integrity is Matthew Shaer, whose article Die, Pitchfork, Die! appears in the November issue of Slate. Ouch.
