But someone has to do it. After all, you can’t fight something if you don’t know what the other side is thinking (if they even bother to do that, which it seems they don’t).

By comparison, I guess this is a rather minor issue.

Only a couple of years ago, the US press was so busy beating the war drums for the Iraq invasion that they never bothered to report the true facts of the matter. It was a disgrace. Had they done their job we might not even be in the grave mess we are now in.

Why exactly are you wasting your time watching CNN? The truth lies elsewhere.

I just heard about the MPAA going after BitTorrent and eDonkey on CNN Headline News today. Julia Borschton (sp?) of Fortune Magazine reported how it was “leaked today” that the MPAA was going to go after the sites responsible for BitTorrent and eDonkey, and how those sites are trading grounds for illegal files. I’m going by memory of course, and I’m sure I’m missing some details, but the strong impression I got was that these so called journalists don’t really have a clue about what’s what in the P2P world, or even something as simple as how these things even work. Ignorant reporting of this kind is the absolute worst kind of reporting I can think of, as it spreads lies and ignorance rather than truth and understanding. Dumbasses…
