This is The Register we're talking about, a British tech news website known for its heavy sarcasm (largely a parody of the writing style of British tabloid journalists), with an official slogan Biting the hand that feeds IT. Some people find it's pretty funny, personally I'm not a fan and not a reader. But in any case, adjust your expectation accordingly, and don't confuse it with a serious publication.
- denton-scratch 4y agoEl Reg is certainly mainly an exercise in entertainment; I enjoy their pastiche of UK tabloids. But I find their reporting generally quite good. It's not strongly political (it has a slight left-wing bias, I'd say, but it doesn't generally report on politics as such). > don't confuse it with a serious publication. I think that's not fair. It's more reliably serious than e.g. Buzzfeed, which sometimes does excellent reporting, but is mostly tabloid style without the pastiche.
