Not sure I'd go straight to "worthless," but it is often unnecessarily 
breathless.

My pet peeve (which extends far past Ars Technica) is the announcement 
of a vulnerability without an examination of the risk-management 
variables. Re-announcing CVEs is a brainless task; putting them in an 
appropriate risk context is actual reporting and analysis.
