When critics attack for Kotaku for its lack of any journalistic integrity, Kotaku members, frothing in the mouth, will immediately tell you that its "just a blog". That's absolute bullshit . When a news blog has as large of a following as Kotaku does, its expected to have some fucking journalistic integrity.That basically sums it up. The writers are rhetorically challenged, get 99% of their material from other websites (at least they credit the website), and post up information often without double checking their sources.The commenters have some sort of caste system going on, where commenters that suck the writers' dicks get "starred", making their comments appear first and inflating their ego, but inadvertently also making them defend their star for their lives. The more ballsy star commenters sometimes criticize the shit writing when its too shitty for even them to read, which basically equals them losing their star. The other commenters depend on the political beliefs and humor of the star commenters to even let their comments be seen, since the only comments that can be seen besides the star commenters' are the ones promoted by them.
