Not bullseye but bull****
Summary: Reality and perceived reality aren't the same thing; sadly, a lot of the media (including tech media) is in the business of creating alternative realities for corporate agenda
THE media in 2020 is so frustrating. A decade ago there were still some insightful articles every now and then, delving deep down and exploring/investigating issues rather than parroting/repeating press releases from corporations. The GNOME Foundation case that
we've just mentioned is a good example of that; each time
ZDNet wrote about the case it was little but a megaphone/loudspeakers for corporate giants that lobby
for software patents. when it doesn't just copy-paste claims from the
Linux Foundation it echoes the same message as this foundation's sponsors (IBM, Microsoft etc.) and bringing attention to pro-software patents groups such as OIN whilst also
constantly defaming the FSF. Corporate lies become 'norm' and realists are "extreme"...
"The parent company of ZDNet became defunct 9 months ago, but ZDNet is still online, still pushing loads of lies, disguised very thinly as 'news'."A lot of the media is sadly an echo chamber of large corporations -- the sponsors of such media. This corruption of journalism cuts deep, but some people gradually catch on. The parent company of ZDNet became defunct 9 months ago, but ZDNet is still online, still pushing loads of lies, disguised very thinly as 'news'. We urge readers of ours to shun ZDNet and several other sites like it*, which mostly exist to lie for the sole purpose of narrative distortion and perception management. ⬆

* Only yesterday, another CBS site -- a sister site of ZDNet -- spread FUD against Linux under the guise of 'security advice', in effect doing shallow marketing for Kaspersky's proprietary software, which contains back doors. We're omitting the link by intention.
