Ask HN: Mashable getting worse?

I used to browse through techcrunch and mashable a lot before I discovered HN. I have slowly since then started to hate mashable. Look at these 2 articles mashable posted in the last 2 days:

http://mashable.com/2009/08/21/palm-pre-iphone-ad/

a complete misrepresentation of facts with an eye catching headline to gain traction

and than this is just plain simple ridiculous for a tech blog to post

http://mashable.com/2009/08/22/embarrassing-facebook/

a poor woman account probably got hacked or she was drunk enough to post it as her status, but bringing it to everyone's attention is just unethical.. IMHO.

Now, I dont read any article on mashable or techcrunch before I read user comments on that article on HN. What do you guys do?
