One sided reporting continuesOne sided reporting continuesPosted Sep 12, 2003 14:24 UTC (Fri) by ccchips (subscriber, #3222)In reply to: One sided reporting continues by eru Parent article: SCO's McBride on his open letter to the Linux community (ComputerWorld) I'm starting to get really disgusted with the way the American press is handling this. I sent feedback to ComputerWorld on the matter this morning. I *still* want to know this: If something stinks about what McBride is doing, and private-enterprise Linux supporters know this, where is the opposing coverage in the financial-oriented press? Unless something starts changing, I will begin to wonder exactly how fair-weather our friends are.

SCO is always changing there story to keep it interesting. The open source community has kept on saying the same thing over and over.IBM: We have a perpetual license. If we want to be in the news, then we have to start doing new things every week.

Can we have an injunction to stop them shipping Unix, please?".All accompanied by mounds of well researched evidence, affidavits by authors, etc etc etc. Bear in mind that in order to get the judge to issue an injunction, you have to have "a reasonable chance of winning", I think they're looking at making it so watertight that they don't have a hope in hell of losing, and the judge will only need one or two braincells to agree with them :-) SCO just won't know what hit 'em ... Cheers,

Rather, the financial press is organized to index news by the companies involved and there is a presupposition that whatever press releases a company puts out about its business is relevant and newsworthy (about that business). There is no such presupposition about what other unrelated parties have to say about the business. For example, the New York Times keeps running stories and editorials about IBM's liability/misconduct in operating semiconductor manufacturing clean rooms with toxic chemicals that cause cancer and birth defects during the 1970s and 1980s but you will find few to none of these stories linked under IBM on Reuters. An actual news development about a specific lawsuit probably would make its way there, but not a commentary or general interest piece.
One sided reporting continues Posted Sep 13, 2003 3:07 UTC (Sat) by mmarq (guest, #2332) [Link] Right!!!, like you can read "Where are the WMDs" in the press every day...thought the FS/OSS has really something new everyday!Just admit that "The Press is Controlled to only pass the political dominant will"... And it isn't only America, its everywhere.... GOVERNMENTS LIE DELIBERATELY OR BY OMISSION EVERYDAY, AND TRY TO CONTROL PEOPLE BY DESINFORMATION... This is not a conspiracy theory, its the reality, just admit it... So no real press coverage for Linux/FS/OSS,..., we all got to live with it.
