“Respectable journalists don’t just disclose,” writes Ian King, who takes issue with my acceptance of the Vista-pre-loaded laptop from Microsoft last month.
I will counter and end the argument by saying “consider the source”. In this case, Mr. King writes for the Sun chain, a group of newspapers who unashamedly model themselves after British tabloids, from so-called “reporters” who are really drunks with notepads, to the “page three girls”, to bad writing to the target readership of just-short-of-functionally-literate yobbos, chavs and lager louts. Barely suitable for fishwrap, I’ve seen better papers after wiping my ass.
Respectable journalists don’t work for the Sun. The organization for which Mr. King works is not so much a newspaper as it is a flyer for a bunch of discount stereo stores that uses what barely passes for “news” as a excuse for printing.
