Comment There is no such thing as unbiased journalism (Score 1) 83

So long as human beings write articles, there will be bias. Anyone claiming to be unbiased is lying. We ALL have our biases. That aside, I think pretty much ALL the positive Linux articles in the non-Linux media is honest. Why? There is no incentive (read money) for them to do otherwise. Ziff Davis and most mags tend to be biased towards advertisers (after seeing them rate Packard Bell highly I dumped my PC Magazine subscription, as a tech, I know they were sh*t). But I digress. Linux companies as yet don't represent enough $$$ to be able to buy positive ZD reviews like Microsoft. In fact, this whole TOPIC, and the fact that ZD posted it at all represents ANTI Linux bias in the press. Have you ever heard an allegation made by ZD that mags reviewed Windows Y2K positively because of massice M$ ads?
