CNN Says Chat Rooms Are a Haven for Hackers

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the well-duh dept.

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).

    CNN is a horrible source of news, as are all of the networks (ABC, CBS, NBC.) The only source of American news that is even remotely objective and fair is Fox News Channel. It is nearly unbelievable when you watch the other channels, how pro-homosexual, pro-environmentalist, pro-minority, etc. they are. I think Fox is the only news organization that realizes that "politically correct" does not mean "true."

    Posting anonymously because I know I'll get killed for this in moderation. Sigh....

    You mean they have a pro-truth bias instead of a pro-homosexual bias.

    Watch CNN if you want a PC lovefest, watch Fox if you want the truth.
