Yeah, it's a shame that sites do that... especially ZDNet. I look at true journalists like Mary Jo Foley and Ed Bott who do actual research and present factual information (and clearly state the difference between the facts and their opinions), and I wonder how they survive in a sea full of morons like Adrian Kingsley-Hughes. Even when I don't agree with the opinions, as long as facts are presented honestly and fairly, I can respect and read your work. I've been following MJ and Ed for about 20 years now. I read AKH for about a month before I accepted he was an idiot and moved on, because I was tired of being annoyed after reading every article.
One of the reasons I love coming to WPCentral though... the guys work hard to be actual journalists. I realize the news gets very Nokia-centric at times, but that's strictly because Nokia is the one making all the news. I appreciate their perspectives too, and if any of them swing by and read this thread, I hope they know I thank them for their work.
