There's an obvious media bias that nobody is talking about, there is a journalistic personal preference pervading the news, and this blogger has decided it's time to take a stand! I'm talking about the constant pro-Mac position taken by supposedly objective reporters, the blatant advertisements for Apple in the guise of news. You think I'm kidding? Check out some of these 2006 stories on MSNBC.com... (MSNBC! If you didn't know, the MS stands for MICROSOFT, and yet still the Apple-biased media defies its own corporate owner. That's just plain un-American.)
Mac Pro: The ultimate in desktop computing
Back in black: MacBook world's best laptop?
'Boot Camp' for Intel-based Macs likely to woo Windows users to Apple
Why Steve Jobs is winning the digital download wars
Not to mention the pointless retrospective Newsweek article about the greatness of Steve Jobs titled: It's the Apple of His Eye
I was going to include some links to negative articles about Microsoft but that would take all day. It's all "Microsoft admits Windows flaw," "Microsoft fails to quash Vista fears," "Microsoft warns of critical Windows flaw," "Microsoft delays wide launch of Windows Vista," plus a wide range of So-and-so sues Microsoft.
If a news site partially owned by (and branded by) Microsoft allows reporters to flaunt their own computing opinions in the face of the facts how can we trust any news site to objectively report on computers? This is a CONSISTENT and PERVASIVE problem flooding all of the so-called news we see every day, and despite the tremendous amount of evidence the mainstream (i.e pro-Apple) press refuses to acknowledge or even to talk about it! Even when studies show five out of six reporters in the "Mac-Media" use Apple computers to write their stories, still they deny any bias.
But this blogger will not be silenced. I don't care who calls me a PC-nut-job or a Microsoftie or an MSFT-winger, I will fight for the truth!
