MiTEG writes "CNN is carrying an article about IRC and how it aids "hackers" with their mischief. There are some alarming quotes from Bruce Schneier, CTO of Counterpane Technologies, such as "people who are anti-big-corporation are going to be more likely to use something like IRC"." Yeah, if they ever hung out in our chatroom, they'd lock us all up for abusing Kurt the Pope.

    Actually, Fox News is rather unbiased (at least, when compared to MSNBC, CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, etc.).

    That's why Fox News is _killing_ CNN in the "pure" news business (CNN still has a wide variety of other news-related ventures, while Fox News is still fairly small).
