This has nothing to do with warm or cold coverage and access. Gizmodo (probably) broke the law when it bought the prototype. Gizmodo were complete douchebags about Gray Powell (who's "outing" was completely unnecessary to the story). To top it all off, they tried to extort better access to Apple events in return for returning the prototype.
I'd pretty much decline requests for access to ANY news organization that did that.
- gojomo 16y agoIf Apple wants to deny access to Gizmodo because Gizmodo is a bunch of douchebags, great. Just don't tell us, as Jacobian did, that Apple is defending journalistic ethics by doing so. Apple is just playing the same tit-for-tat access game they always do. Apple is an admirable company in many ways, but they're not a consistent champion of free speech, a free press, or high journalistic standards. Apple shouldn't be defended on the basis of their press-policing.
