Techrights Twisted Brand of Journalism.

Here is a typical example of how the Slimy One uses Links as "proof" of
his claims but in fact these links have nothing to do with the article
he writes.
This will go right over Chris Ahlstrom's head because he won't be able
to accept the fact that his first master is a charlatan.

"One of Roy’s biggest problems is that most of the sources of
information he uses are articles posted on the Internet, usually by
bloggers. The Internet has set the bar very low on what is considered
journalism. Here’s a great example:
http://techrights.org/2011/04/01/rethink-of-software-patents/
In this article Roy states, "The Obama administration is said to
considering a ‘fundamental rethink of software patents’…"
OK. So where does he get this idea? He links to this article from a blog
called Silicon Valley Sleuth:
http://www.v3.co.uk/v3-uk/silicon-valley-sleuth-blog/2031942/obama-plans-fundamental-rethink-software-patents
So far, so good, the headline declares, "Obama plans fundamental rethink
of software patents." But nowhere in the article is software even
mentioned. Not even a quote related to software is given.
The article only talks about the wish to make the patent application
process faster. Scour the Internet and try to find Obama or any of his
cabinet members even hint about computer software patents, you'll come
up empty handed.
What you will find are other articles, blogs, and postings that all
reference back to Silicon Valley Sleuth's bogus article. As usual,
another Internet blogger is just plain wrong. That's OK for Roy, though.
Right or wrong, as long as it adds fuels to fire it's fit to publish.
This is something I hope a lot of people make note of. Anyone with a
little bit of time and money can set up a professional looking website
and distribute their own version of the truth. FOSS advocates in
particular will declare that "everyday people from the community" are
more trustworthy than the "evil corporate news media." In reality,
everyday people are just as crooked and biased. Roy is proof of that. He
puts advocacy before truth, and I'm willing to bet apexwm does the
same."

So where is his "expose" of ZDnet?
We are waiting oh Slimy One!
