The bias in the news continues, particularly when those sources controlled by Intel or Microsoft. FYI: A C\|Net News.Com Dispatch 3/17/98 e-mail listing their tech news items included a pointer entitled "... Jobs is on the offensive, claiming that Power Macs can 'toast' Intel's Pentium II, speedwise. But does the 300-MHz PowerPC really equal a 600-MHz Pentium II?" The pointer leads to an article at news.com. entitled "Jobs: Stay the course". Rather than, as one would hope, a technical discussion of the speed issues, the article mixes selective reporting re Seybold with modestly anti-AAPL biased commentary. A misleading pointer displayed to a gadzillion readers, a small fraction (AAPL fans) of which willing to even glance at the biased reporting to see it has nothing to say. Small wonder, given that, as the article does admit, "Intel is an investor in CNET: The Computer Network." Nice work, Intel.
