Why to all Forbes articles read like flaming propaganda bullshit?


Because these aren't actual Forbes articles. Anything on forbes.com/sites/XYZ is somebody's blog, not content that is actually vetted by Forbes.


"This story appears in the September 2, 2013 issue of Forbes."


Bleh, the /sites/ URL used to be a giveaway that it was UGC. Now I see they're even moving their own content under there, to prevent you from discarding the (worthless) UGC. Sorry for the misinformation.


Because it is run by people disconnected from the real world. Walled-garden of rich people who like to read about people liked themselves.
