MICROSOFT-sponsored publishers (like IDG above; that's two days ago) insist that lies are truths and truths are lies. They're in the business of reality distortion. That's just their business model. That helps sell ads (both Microsoft ads and click-bait that increases 'engagement').
"They're in the business of reality distortion. That's just their business model."Bribes talk. If we’re getting to the point where corporate media repeatedly tells us that the famous criminal Bill Gates is a Saint, then why not “Microsoft loves Linux” as well? Follow the money… any lie can almost stick if you bribe enough (Microsoft is still bribing a lot and sometimes getting caught).
If we're to believe that Microsoft loves Linux, then we should also believe that Microsoft loved Novell, Microsoft loved Nokia, Microsoft loved Borland, Microsoft loved Java, Microsoft loved Netscape, Microsoft loved Yahoo!
The media (what's left of it anyway) has become so corrupt that its sole goal seems to be lying, provocation (for clicks) and fantasy. Not facts. Not proper analysis.
To see SJVN stooping down to this level is rather sad to us because in past years he was supportive of us. In recent years he asked us to call him "crazy". Maybe he quit caring about his reputation and started to only care about his job security/bank account [1, 2, 3]. The money isn't in truth but distortion of it. ⬆
