I think you might be reading negativity into it. The title itself is pretty neutral. I wrote for a newspaper at 13 , and was paid for programming at 15.
Sure, if you look at it strictly as a logical proposition, but is "TechCrunch has Belgians writing stories for them" just the way you'd expect a Belgian would put it?
Even you put it in terms of your achievement, not the newspaper's hiring policy, which is the way most would expect it to be written.
