Well, I don't trust CNN either so it's actually a good comparison.
It seems "well-known" sources of news are using their comfortable position to accept a lower quality of their journalism.
I'm not saying their are bad intended, but they took the choice of posting often (with possibly unverified information) rather than posting rigorously checked facts, and cross checked with different sources. I feel like I have to do myself their work of cross verifying everything they post...
- vertex-four 8y agoCNN doesn’t make up sources. The Register doesn’t either. The Register has a source at ARM who states that the website was theirs. What, exactly, are you suggesting happened?
- antpls 8y agoI don't suggest anything, I'm only saying we trust way too much CNN and journalists in general who reinforce our initial believes.
- vertex-four 8y agoThat statement could be made about literally any article linked from Hacker News, in addition to anything on the rest of the internet - why did you decide to make it on this one?
- antpls 8y agoBecause I also commented on the HN thread about the offending website 24h earlier TheRegister's article made its way to the public. Already on the previous thread, someone suggested to be careful about that website, as it couldn't be proved ARM did it.
