"[AAPL] cuts the government's case to shreds"
Wow, is CNN a news organization or a press release promotion mill?
CNN's one-sidedness made me uneasy enough to research the contrarian opinion, this is the best summary I found:

Effectively the evidence in the govt's case shows that:
a) AAPL recognized that they required the collusion of the top 5 publishers to set market pricing, and actively solicited them.
b) AAPL suggested pricing to the top 5 publishers.
I believe in due process, just pointing out that there is clearly more here than CNN's summary allows.

- nhebb 14y agoI searched the page for the words blog, opinion, and editorial => zero matches. It does look like an opinion piece, but they should at least label it as such.
