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."

    The whole list of emails made me so angry....then at the bottom of the rebuttal:

    Mr. Prendergast's affiliation with Microsoft should have been stated clearly in the article.

    GODDAMN FOX NEWS! WHY DO PEOPLE LISTEN TO THIS DRIVEL!

    fair and balanced, my quarter-arab ass.
