Actually it isn't the same. An exchange can argue that it isn't responsible for what a coin project ultimately does, but a news website has responsibilities to unbiased and factual journalism. A cursory glance at the facts related to 'Razormind' and this 'crowdfunding' raises sufficient concerns that would warrant not posting the article in the first place.
It isn't like CT have to post an anti-Razormind or anti-DeOS piece, either, they simply should not have posted anything at all about this obviously shady project.
But to not only fail in that regards but to actually fucking make statements prior to the promoted ICO implying that it is a serious contender to MS and IBM et al. smacks of highly suspect motivation to do so.
