This kind of thing drives me nuts about this site. I've always enjoyed reading the daily items (though many of the resulting comments are incredibly childish,) but the powers-that-be around here insert so much sarcasm and bias in their "reports" that it ceases to be a legit news service. It's gotten progressively worse through the years.
How 'bout just letting the reader determine his opinion, rather than obviously pushing an agenda? Grow up and keep opinion out of the headlines. Write a comment if you want to express an opinion.
Or just rename the site BroadbandBias.com.

Yes, yes...this site is so much different than say, any other "news" outlet for information. that bias you dismiss is prevalent throughout all reporting, so you might as well dismiss all reporting while you're at it. |

Fleeting | The site has a secret & evil agenda to point out when executives say stupid things, to point out when deals aren't really deals, to unspin press releases. I'm outraged! |

Charter crap cable is the worst company I have ever dealt with. As soon as you get one bogus charge on your bill corrected they have already hit you with another. My bill changes every month. In order to fix it I always have to go to the local office, stand in line and wait for an hour for them to fix their screw up. I wish they would go out of business. People say the grass is not always greener on the other side, but I believe in the case of charter it has to be. Their "package deals" leave a lot to be desired also. Why not just have one constant price? My 12 month package ran out last month and my bill went up almost 60 dollars. I asked if I could go on to another package and she said I had to wait 3 months. I asked her what I could do in the meantime and she replied "Cancel all of your channels down to basic for 3 months". I for one hope charter communications dies the death it deserves... |

Listen to this article (specially to the last comment) on NPRs All things Considered from yesterday. Let us know what you think about the last comment.

This is not bias or sarcasm. It is a editorial comment. The editors do realise that we are intelligent enough to disregard these comments to get the actual story. And of course we come here to read the news because there is also analysis with it which makes it enjoyable. |
