Re: Tainted "journalism"
said by jester121  :Nice try with the standard BBR attack method though! All I have is the BBR News Fan Attack Protocol pamphlet to go by.
said by jester121 :said by jmn1207 :We know Verizon is not one of them. No you don't. You know that someone at Verizon denies that they are participating. See, that's what the actual NEWS story is. "So-and-so said this, while those guys said 'no comment'". That's it. Ellen Yu, a public relations employee working at Verizon, gave an official statement that they were not participating. You are doing exactly what you accuse Karl of doing in your rant.
said by jester121 :said by jmn1207 :That leaves the rest of them that refuse to talk. Karl is simply stating what is obvious to many of us. No, Karl is stating his opinion. Whether or not that's obvious is subjective, and remains to be seen. I read facts stating that ISP's refuse to comment while Verizon adamantly denies their cooperation, followed by the editor asking some rhetorical questions and some paragraphs using "Potentially" and "Perhaps". It's clear to me when the story strays into an opinion piece. I can separate the facts from the opinion with little difficulty. This is entertainment. Topical news subjects are used to try and generate user participation in discussions.
said by jester121 :Honestly I don't care one way or another about the issue at hand... Yes, that much is clear. |
