Was Gizmodo ever great? Sad to see them chase the negative angle.
- AlchemistCamp 3y agoThey were relentlessly negative before all the prestigious news orgs became so technologically-regressive.
- phendrenad2 3y agoSo you prefer news that lies to you to maintain a positive angle?
- achates 3y agoI want them to just tell me what's happening instead of trying to tell me what to think about it by using words like "quixotic" in the opening paragraph.
- phendrenad2 3y agoIt is quixotic. Taking events in isolation without integrating an understanding of the history here would be a wild choice.
- lazzlazzlazz 3y agoI prefer news that doesn't lie by omission or lie by selective retelling. It's naive to believe a story like this is complete and honest. After your work has been covered by the media, you may understand how the trick is executed.
- zpeti 3y agoThere's a lot more people eager to see billionaire's plans fail than billionaires. So if you want clicks and readers for ad revenue, you're not going to spin this positively.
