TG Daily - Firefox, IE. Tech journalists are a disgrace

I sometimes feel I'm fighting a one man war for balanced reporting. If a company does something good, I will praise them. If they screw up, I will point it out, often using harsh language.

What I will not do is automatically praise everything company A does and diss everything produced by company B. Microsoft screws up, Mozilla screws up, Intel screws up, AMD screws up.

What I find unacceptable is that a sizeable number of people with the bare-faced cheek to call themselves journalists have ignored the fact that Mozilla has just released a pile of crap on an unsuspecting world.

[...]

The question these writers need to answer is this: Are you journalists or fanboys?

You can't be both. Not in my world.

Journalists OR Fanboys: that's the question! An excellent article of Andrew Thomas I recommend you to read. It's about the respect of the FACTS which are far more important than ANY believers and "evangelists" gossips.
