Summary: We quickly examine the sorts of news one gets from Google 'News' when searching for “Linux” and we conclude that real news is occluded or missing


THE sad situation we’re in means that important news won’t be covered; instead, those with the money will control the press, e.g. via the Linux Foundation and other PR agencies. Churnalism is what it boils down; that’s just their business model. We’ve noticed ZDNet perishing lately (not much output) and diverting some “content” to other domains, but there’s still ample room for misinformation and Microsoft pays for a lot of it — in the same way the EPO keeps buying buying press coverage about itself (it helps distract the public from EPO crimes). █
