I'd love to hear somebody say they don't take Steve Jobs or Larry Ellison seriously because they're too "self aggrandizing". What happened to results mattering most? There are a lot of reasons to dismiss people and organizations, but how ego size is just about the most shallow reason I can think of.
- commandar 16y agoSteve Jobs and Larry Ellison aren't trying to fill the role of an information clearinghouse. The information they're disseminating should be what's important; instead I've increasingly gotten the impression that wikileaks being in the spotlight is being given more consideration.
- blueben 16y agoAm I to take from this that journalism is a higher calling that requires a self-less attitude and a humble ego? Because I'm pretty sure that kind of journalism has never existed. Regardless of whether Wikileaks is self-aggrandizing or not (and the recurring theme here is that people "feel" it is, but can never substantiate), the information released and the results achieved speak for themselves.
