My complaint falls more into the weaker category of a complaint with the stylization of the content than outright dishonesty. My kneejerk reaction was that this was yet another article that somehow implied that the GOP is unique in their level of legislative commitment to the content industry and will cut down those who don't tow the line. Disingenuous isn't the same as dishonest - it is weaker that that. So, I'm not accusing anyone of being dishonest.
- pekk 14y agoWhen the paper was linked on HN, it was taken as an indication that the Democrats were beholden to Hollywood and the GOP was by contrast progressive on copyright, which is itself a distortion. That was the PR effect it had. So I can understand if the article does not shy away from mentioning that the GOP is also beholden to various interests.
