Comcast Lying About Vonage
jehnx writes, "Apparently, Comcast is trying some new tricks to get people to sign up for its version of VoIP, 'Comcast Digital Voice,' according to Wang (of WangScript fame). From the blog post: 'Today my wife received a phone call from a Comcast representative who had called to promote their new "Comcast Digital Voice" service... Ordinarily, we don't mind Comcast calling us from time to time with new offers... [but this time] they proceeded to tell LIE after LIE in an attempt to convince us that Vonage was not as good as Comcast Digital Voice. Imagine how many people would be scared into using Comcast Digital Voice because Comcast makes them believe that Vonage is insecure and only works when your PC is turned on.' Is Comcast going a bit far in their techniques to lure in new customers?"
The headline reads "Comcast Lying About Vonage." Nothing like "Customers *Allege* Comcast is Lying About Vonage," or any sort of qualifier at all. One anecdote, and Slashdot screams to the world that Comcast is lying. Because Slashdot is somehow an unimpeachable beacon of truth, with no biases, agendas, or opinions, and Comcast is just a bunch of greedy corporate scumbags who kick puppies at every opportunity.
You don't even have the decency of Fox News, who would have said "Is Comcast Lying About Vonage?" Nope, Slashdot is 100% above reproach, and has no interest whatsoever is hyperbole or copntroversy. Nothing to see here folks, move on.
I do not work for Comcast or any of its competitors or suppliers, and I don't know and can't really evaluate if the claims are true. But I know crap journalism when I see it.
Because you are a dirty, cheap, hook nosed, jew-boy?
