Toms Hardware is such a weird rag now in how it baits on geopolitical yellow journalism Weird to see a formerly well regarded tech journalism site using politisphere-bro low brow terminology like paper tiger

    I personally don't see the usage of the term paper tiger to be that big of a deal in context of a tech journalism site. Professionalism of reviews, knowledgeable journalists and editorial independence are the kinds of things that make or break a technology journalism site.

    That being said I personally would have avoided such a term; there are other article types were it could be a better fit.

    These days you can't be too picky if you prefer written articles (I am one of those people that doesn't find the video format to be workable for reviews of even opinion pieces, but I fully understand why video is so popular).
