"The Register is scum."
How so? I find it quite useful in staying on top of IT news in the UK. Their reporting is harsh, but to date, from what I know of the industry, appears to be accurate.
If it's not some examples would help?
- anon1385 12y agoI'm not a fan of the gov.uk project (see my other comment on this thread) but the Register is a pretty awful site, and Andrew Orlowski in particular is a total crackpot. For example he writes crazy climate change denial articles. To be fair, it's the same kind of crackpottery that you can find in papers like The Telegraph most weeks. The Telegraph is trash too, but some people still take it seriously. I'd put The Register in the same bracket: it still can product ok coverage of some stories but there are a bunch of topics where their politics or petty personal feuds leads them to write terrible articles full of factual inaccuracies.
