I think that the original poster referred to news outlets which use "linux" in their names, but only to troll with cheap provocations to Linux users. We can mention LinuxWorld (up until 1.5 months ago), Linux Online and whatever outlet employing Maureen O'Gara, for example.

Personally I doubt that the Linux mark can be used as a defense against that, or even should; but it's probably a minor concern to the Linux Mark Institute.
