By Larry Chiang Takeaway: Engage in a social media war only when you know you’ll win. Michael Arrington (TechCrunch) vs Patrick LaForge (NY Times) Clear winner = Michael Arrington Michael Arrington (@arrington) 9/5/11 12:36 PM @palafo shame on you. Patrick LaForge (@palafo) 9/5/11 12:35 PM @arrington Thanks for your feedback. Michael Arrington (@arrington) 9/5/11 12:33 PM @palafo disclose when RELEVANT? RELEVANT? TRANSPARENCY IS ALWAYS RELEVANT. Patrick LaForge (@palafo) 9/5/11 12:28 PM @arrington You said NYT “refuses” to disclose and I sent you an example where we did. It is in fact our policy to disclose when relevant. Michael Arrington (@arrington) 9/5/11 12:22 PM @palafo what was the factual inaccuracy? Just want to understand. Patrick LaForge (@palafo) 9/5/11 12:21 PM @arrington I have no position. You posted a factual inaccuracy and I corrected it. Have a nice day. Michael Arrington (@arrington) 9/5/11 12:18 PM @palafo so your position is NY Times doesn’t have to disclose Red Sox when not financial story, but TC w/disclosure is wrong? Patrick LaForge (@palafo) 9/5/11 12:17 PM @arrington Not a financial story. Michael Arrington (@arrington) 9/5/11 12:16 PM @palafo nytimes.com/2011/08/07/spo… nada dude. Patrick LaForge (@palafo) 9/5/11 12:11 PM @arrington t.co/jHoUEgK Michael Arrington (@arrington) 9/5/11 11:21 AM NY Times refuses to disclose partial ownership of Red Sox when writing about them.
