I presume the editor just wanted to put an article out with Microsoft and Project Zero in the title, rather than analyze the actual flaw in the context of its severity.
- nabc45 9y agoA journalist lying. Not particularly noteworthy.
- ILikeConemowk 9y agoDidn't you get the memo? It's not lying, it's giving newsworthy events a "spin" and it totes OK and ethical, because everyone else does it and we're the good guys. /s
- pmyteh 9y agoThe press had many problems, but this isn't close to a lie. Sensationalistic? Maybe. But to accuse the journalist of lying is claiming that the article is (1) false, and (2) that the journalist knows it's false. They're big claims, not to be made as throwaway snark. A functioning (and honest) press matters, and this does it and ourselves no benefit.
