I find it staggering that so few media outlets have picked this story up.
TechCrunch spends 80% of its time farming Elon Musk stories but won't lift a hand to promote a good fight.
Are these news companies so entangled in the corporate world they can't risk taking a stand because it risks them losing access to real-time news? I don't really understand it so I am kind of guessing, but it is nonetheless strange.
- pferde 3y agoA lot of tech media outlets are not much more than extension of tech companies' PR departments. This has been very obvious especially in videogame "journalism" for a while (refusal to cover negative stories and more importantly follow up on them, or blatantly using article templates provided in advance by the companies), but if you pay attention, it is quite widespread.

- skilled 3y agoNow that you put it that way, I guess it does make a lot of sense.
