Microsoft Spinning Against OpenDocument Via Fox News

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the strangest-thing-you'll-see-lately dept.

srwalter writes "As previously reported, Fox News previously ran an article by James Prendergast criticizing Massachussetts for switching to OpenDocument format. Today, Fox News has distanced itself from that article significantly. In a new front page story they post several emails in defense of Massachussetts and OpenDocument in general, as well as apologize for not acknowledging that Prendergast's organization is funded by Microsoft."

    In Bob Park's book Voodoo Science, he describes how Fox ran the 'Alien Autopsy' video as a quasi-news/documentary three times after which they ran a program that debunked the video as a fraud. They made money both times.

    Fair *and* Balanced.
