___However, I would like to see Mr. Newton stop toting himself as being “unbiased___

When and where have I ever said I was unbiased? I’m as biased as they come, I’ve explicitly said so on a number of occasions, and I’ve never pretended to be otherwise.

I’m biased against any and all efforts to kill free speech, online or off. I’m biased against the entertainment cartels as they pretend to be honest businesses trying to earn an honest living. I’m biased against their efforts to penetrate school classrooms to spread their poisonous ‘educational’ programs, claiming they represent decent standards for children to follow. I’m biased against the one-sided reporting by many, if not most, elements of the mainstream media who DO pretend to be fair, balanced and unbiased. I’m biased against attempts to flood us with tricky Net advertisements designed to force themselves past our natural barriers of free choice. And I could go on : )

I’m biased, Matt. Most definitely. And since you mention Fox, where does it afford viewers a chance to air their opinions, named or otherwise, without edits? On p2pnet, though, anyone can comment freely, whatever their views. Ask Gachnar and others like him/her. And that’s the way it’s always been.

A revised p2pnet is on the way and it’ll have both forums and comment posts for articles. You’ll have to register for the first, but the second will allow anonymous posting, as ever.

So far, no one has ever offered to submit anything offering the corporate perspective. If and when one such comes along, I’ll run it untouched just as I do other papers and articles.

Meanwhile, I’ll continue to call it like I see it and although I enjoy your frequent posts, Matt, I must say this time around, I don’t like your accusation that I’m being dishonest. Whatever else I may be, that I am not.

Cheers!

However, I would like to see Mr. Newton stop toting himself as being “unbiased.” In many instances, this blog is like Fox News: it claims to be “fair and balanced” and “without bias,” but a more accurate claim would be “biased in the opposite direction.” This isn’t entirely his fault. After all, there is absolutely no news source which is unbiased, as we all subconsciously insert bias into things by our mere choosing of what to report, among other methods. But calling yourself “unbiased” when in reality your are just biased in a direction opposite that of the mainstream is just being dishonest in my opinion.

Please give it a rest.
