LWN's reporting style basically enables sponsors to obtain "free" PR simply by having LWN repeat verbatim whatever a presenter has said, without consideration of any other facts the LWN staff may be aware of at the time.

So, you're saying that if LWN had noted that, say, this entire project existed purely because the kernel developers cannot work with you in particular (well, you and a few other anonymous people) which neatly explains why it is gatekeeping, oh sorry "ripping off" your work into the kernel, which is indeed another fact the LWN staff are demonstrably aware of, that you would have not attacked them straight out of the gate for saying that?

I don't believe you.

(I note that you have in the past attacked the kernel people for not accepting your work: yet here you attack them for doing the opposite, simply because the contribution of changes is coming through an intermediary. Is the real problem that they're not willing to accept your work without review, changes, or alterations of any kind whatsoever? Well, duh, you're not going to be treated like that because nobody is in any free software project worth its salt.)
