Actually the amazingly bad thing is it was an underhanded way of mis-reporting
journalism. in the article she got it all factual and correct - then instantly
posted a comment to the article to swing the topic around. as a journalist she
should report fairly and accurately. she did this only "just". the article did
not discuss a WM. it mentioned a future one, but it was about an EFL release,
not e16 vs gnome, or e17's WM.
the comment was completely off-topic and not warranted. the fact that a
journalist goes and then posts comments to her OWN articles as the 3rd comment
35 minutes later trying to steer the topic into a flamewar is a disappointing
show of professionalism. if people were discussing the quality of the article or
her reporting style, sure she has a right to defend herself, but her tack here
was completely off. it's like she didnt even know what she reported on, and
journalism showing such ignorance even of their OWN reports is a sad thing to
see. it was like reporting on a new bmw 530 series then commenting how you don't
like the shape of bmw bikes and find them ugly.
i'm just disappointed to see this kind of quality in reporting, as her comment
IMHO does not lie in the category of objective comments, but as part of the
article.
