First, your sources don't demonstrate a damn thing. CBS isn't a respected source of information in the tech community. As a rule, we'd prefer to see documentation and data so that we can arrive at our own conclusions. MSM provides neither, instead it cherry picks information to sell more ads. You can hardly trust anything so biased. Second, you're statement "Malice should be the last, not the first assumption" is fundamentally incorrect. You shouldn't make any assumptions, you should look at the facts. While the intent may be benign, the effect is wide spread distrust, which is not and should be addressed accordingly.

You can hardly trust anything so biased. I do not buy your narrative about media bias. I think it's ironic that you are standing on "we need hard facts and data" while providing none to support the idea that media is as biased as you say, only innuendo and an appeal to "the tech community." You claim to be data driven, but when I provide data, you summarily throw it out, do not replace it with any of your own (or even an assertion that none exists), and make vague assertions about media bias instead. > Second, you're statement "Malice should be the last, not the first assumption" is fundamentally incorrect.

I'll address this in concert with your reply above: > It doesn't matter why something happens, only that it happens. It does matter why, because if you want to fix it, you have to know the cause. If the problem is a problem of perception, that is fixed differently than if the problem is with the system itself. Data is meaningless without context.
