It's hard to get more off the rails than this:
There¹s a good document about Microsoft¹s call for ³Jihad². It¹s
referring to merciless marketing.
I showed this to Marc Fleury and believe it or not, he didn¹t buy
it. He made a deal with Microsoft in the past. He has an XBox.
OMG! Marc Fleury has an XBox! Microsoft got to him!
It's also pretty off the rails to claim that all of these organizations
are pro-MS shills:
New York Times
Motley Fool
Time
CNN
You want a really far off the rails example? Consider this article on
the battle between Adobe and Microsoft over interactive web technologies:
<http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/feedarticle/7746031>
A fairly straightforward article. Roy sees it as an MS advertisement,
and so investigates the author, and finds this:
<http://www.journalisted.com/daisuke-wakabayashi>
and is making a big deal of the fact that it lists that author as having
written more about MS than anything else. He completely overlooks the
fact that the author only had two prior stories. One was about the
Yahoo/Google ad deal that was made during the Microsoft/Google takeover
attempt, and the other was about the Halo 3 launch.
So, a tech journalists writes two articles that have something to do
with Microsoft, and that's enough in Roy's eyes to make him suspect?
