If a company likes a certain reporter, that reporter is not doing his job.

It reminds me of the late Tim Russerts propensity for giving BushCo a free ride, so much so that he became their go to shill when they needed to trot out some lies to justify the killing of innocents. Mr. Russert failed in his job, much like Mr. Guth does when he "balances" the truth about Vista being a failure and not a justified purchase.

Being a fair journalist does not mean that he or she has to give equal time to the other side when their viewpoints are demonstrably incorrect. Being a fair journalist does not mean that he or she has to write articles to "balance" out what has already been written. That is a PR shills job.

hmmm, since we're judging by email content....

While Tom Pilla said:

>>we are engaging with him to provide balance and accuracy.

Matt translates this to mean:

>>Microsoft, in other words, apparently viewed Guth as someone to balance out other negative reviews of Windows and its near-term foibles.

How does "balance and accuracy" translate into "balance out other negative reviews"????

This post is not balanced and neither is it accurate.... but it's an anti-Microsoft blog. So no big deal.
