I read Ars Technica and find it generally high quality but with notable exceptions every so often. They give each individual author a lot of latitude which has both positives and negatives. In this case, their Microsoft correspondent, Peter Bright, appears to have taken offence to WebM and is actively campaigning against it. This gives every article that mentions WebM a very slanted take. He'll also pop up in the comments section to argue (as "DrPizza") which gives you a further insight into his opinions and how strongly he holds them.
