CNN's/Reuters' biased reporting about Linux

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)

This CNN/Reuter (Microsoft warns Asian governments of Linux suits) article certainly does not fall within the category of news, at least not in the sense of factual news. Considering that many receive their news from CNN/Reuters, this article sounds like a propaganda piece against the open source operating system.

The article should have mentioned that SCO’s lawsuits against IBM and many other companies have either been dropped, declared as being without merit, or are really in doubt about their credibility.

Will CNN or Reuters report in the same way if they switch to Linux? Why is CNN siding with CNN and SCO?

What happen to the fairness in reporting!?
