Media Loves Apple and Its Army of Fans

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the we-loves-us-an-ipod dept.

cgriffin21 writes "Apple is getting more media attention right now than any other technology company, including Google. Microsoft, meanwhile, is languishing in the shadows like Cinderella on the night of the ball. That's the upshot of a study released Monday (PDF) by the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism, which found that Apple was the focus of 15.1 percent of media coverage between June 1, 2009 to June 30, 2010. Google received 11.4 percent of media coverage during the period, while Microsoft garnered just 3 percent."

    Most media these days is for hipsters by hipsters. Its all about saving the children, saving the environment, and buying overpriced apple products made in sweatshops by people paid so little they choose to commit suicide so their family can get the little bit of death benefit cash. Wired is REALLY bad, I've switched almost exclusively to /. because of it.
