Netscape 6.1

Why didn't Slashdot link to the CNET review of Netscape 6.1p. This was a rathewr favourable review and even provided some benchmarking of Netscape and IE using Windows 98 and Windows 2000. The benchmarking was interesting. Using Win 98 Netscape was half as fast as IE using the test tasks, but on Win 2000 Netscape was either on par with IE or significantly faster.
Why did Slashdot link to an article which slams Netscape using the vehicle of a thinly disguised news story when they could have linked to a much more credible CNET review that has actually test driven the browser to back up its comments on Netscape. Does Slashdot have something against the Mozilla project and hopes it will not succeed? Hmmmmmmm?
