Tomorrow, if someone posted an article with in-depth analysis of the stolen iPhone affair, including retrospectives about how this affected iPhone4 hype, how it affected sales, and how it has affected TechCrunch's reputation, would you complain? Note -- I am specifically mentioning the new content because it is directly mappable to the parent article, there is stuff in TFA that has not ever been compiled as a single source for outsiders and those with casual interest to pick up on.

As for your cherry picking -- you are obviously pretty bad at it: most does not mean all, which means this story should be investigated on the grounds of "is it like the bulk of other political and crime stories". This article is unlike well over 90% of crime and politics stories, both on the face of it an on deeper inspection. Those other stories simply report crime with vague speculation on motive, and no details on follow-up. Political stories are usually he-said/she-said pieces on the fights between personalities. This doesn't match those, and therefore doesn't qualify as "most". Good try, tho!
