I had experiences when writing articles for a news site where the editor would wipe out paragraphs that state factual information about Microsoft misbehaviour.

This is why I agree with Stallman that people should reject news sites and instead rely on trusted blogs.

Notice how the comment there is just a personal attack which has absolutely 0% to do with the post.

No, I’m not paid by anyone to run this site.

If you are doing “journalism” is your school aware of this? Have you registered as a journalist? Have you ever bothered to check the legal and ethical requirements to be called one?

I can’t say how strongly I disagree with the idea here. “Professional journalism” has done tremendous harm to our societies in western culture. Systematic misrepresentation for ideological or financial gain has been the rule, yet I believe that these “professionals” feel that they are ethical and are on the side of the good. Ethics can’t defeat self-delusion. I’m glad Roy is not a “journalist”.

And your idea of registering as a journalist only comes from evil individuals that wish to censor other people.

I bet Roy receives millions from ODF. XML-based file formats like ODF are rich beyond your dreams.

Odd, it seems that the post where you are libeling other people seem to have comments turned off.

A few questions for Roy:

* Who pays your bills?

Have you received any favors, money, donations, hardware, support, assistance from any of:

* IBM
* Red Hat
* Microsoft
* Oracle
* Sun
* ODF

What kind of relationship do you have from all of the people you worship on this site?

If you are a serious “journalist” please disclose anything that could be a conflict of interest.
