Well, the source article is from El Reg, where objectivity is something to eventually strive for, but if it gets in the way of clicks, facts are definitely not a friend.
And, somehow, that strategy seems to keep working decade after decade. Yeah, I don't get it either...
- robin_reala 9mo agoAfter I’d been in the firing line for a couple of Reg articles I started realising that yes, they don’t let much stand in the way of a good story. They still write a good story though, it’s just slightly more tenuously tethered to reality than I’d originally imagined.
- chuckadams 9mo agoAt least you know what you're getting with El Reg, unlike Very Serious Publications written for Very Serious People. The average article in CIO is also densely-packed bullshit, just polished up more.
- cykros 9mo agoIt IS labeled "Opinion" in their defense... But yea, El Reg is never where you go for objectivity.
