With justifications like these, it's no wonder why the media feels no need
to live up to professional standards. There is a big difference between
editor pieces, opinion pieces, commentary pieces, product reviews and
general articles.
I guess it would be okay for ZDnet to hire Larry Ellison to review MS SQL
Server 2000 and call it a fair and balanced review. Would that be a okay????
Or is that a hit piece? Is that "hey who better to review"? or "Hey if some
corp exec deciding which system to buy doesn't know any better and can't
figure it out...." Come on.
CFDJ has been getting closer to straight out prostitution each month. Soon I
may have to unsubscribe, if anything out of sheer embarrassment. There's
many contributors who write fine pieces each month that help the community
(which increases their value when getting hired by others) and are have
strong bias but never would write a hit piece under the guise of a fair
review.
The review in question was far from fair, balanced or accurate. It was a
REVIEW, not a commentary, opinion or editorial piece. That makes all the
difference in the world.
If the editiorial staff can't fact check their articles, as the article in
question seriously needed, then they don't need my money.
Let's just call it what it is, and then let's agree to disagree on it's
importance, but enough of the pissing on my shoes and then tell me it's
raining stuff.
IMHO,
Rick
