- fabianhjr 7y agoAnd Engadget is owned by Verizon and they are closer to the smartphone industry. (Hardly impartial too) https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Engadget https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Engadget
- yorwba 7y agoThey're the source for the Engadget article, so still a better choice in any case. The change in ownership also hasn't affected the quality of their reporting, as far as I can tell.
- microcolonel 7y agoI was just reiterating the comment, it was hidden. Also kinda silly for you to say so definitively that being owned by what is effectively a state venture of the PRC doesn't have an effect on their reporting. I wouldn't say that about basically any news outlet, because they all at least have a headquarters somewhere. And given the PRC's enormous, well-documented investments into perverting the truth and framing the narrative worldwide, more developed than most; even an arm's length relationship is too close for me to put that sort of trust into a a venture like this.
