Microsoft Spinning Against OpenDocument Via Fox News
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."
I can't believe you're getting insightful on this, since you are misquoting the original article, and you're being kind of a prick...
From your post: The original piece was not an article, but from the original slashdot story, "Anonymous Coward wrote to mention a Fox News article...". If you do a "search page" when bringing up the "read more"..., you'll not get a hit on "commentary" until way down the comments page where posters start pissing about it being a commentary.
You dodged a bullet not getting modded flame while at the same time being such a prick and being wrong.
For those who may be interested in my take on the whole thing you can read this comment, this comment, and even this concession that my original position had merit (note I didn't say right or wrong...)
It'll be interesting to see if correcting someone clearly flaming ends up getting me modded troll or flamebait. That's okay, I've got karma to burn.
