Comment What slashdot integrity? (Score 3) 274

As an editorial enterprise, Slashdot is becoming a joke, agreed.

Slashdot's editors seem to follow one of several well-worn ruts when they write their article headers:

1) Unabashed open-source boosterism

2) Unabashed anti-Microsoft FUD (Gates as Borg! Wow guys, so clever -- it gets funnier every time I see it!)
3) Calls to arms and editorial ringleading (boycotts, more MS-as-evil-empire, petition-mongering)
4) Unattributed, unsourced rumors (again, usually coupled with the alleged neferious doings of big companies)
5) Trumped-up reports of Microsoft's failures. Trumped-up reports of open-source successes.
6) Self-conscious, attention-seeking examinations of Slashdot and the Slashdot "community".

Not surprisingly, the discussion that results fits the mold cast by the editors. Keep up the yellow journalism, editors, and the "Slashdot community" you cultivate won't be worth listening to.
