Will he get fired? Will he be sued? He was cursing Linux using his blog and he
smears the reputation of Forbes.
We should all thank him for showing us why mainstream media is a corporate
puppet with hidden agendae. The "Microsoft take on the free world" article
from Forbes was a very dramatic one and it was intended to start a long
journey of FUD. It proved that Forbes was nothing but a place for Microsoft to
publish its press releases (as 'articles').
These are bad days for the integrity of journalists (also InformationWeek), who
are struggling to survive amid change. If journalism does not pay, they use
their position to shill.
