I know you wanted to get your hit on Fox News, but if you remove Fox from your query, you'll find that most of the main stream media does not report it.
The ones that do, Center for Immegration Studies, The Economist, Washington Times (not Post), and WorldNetDaily, none of which would be considered the main stream media.
The article is trying to find lessons learned in an one on one game with a MMO, which is not really fair. There are lessons in WoW, as I'm sure there are in other MMOs such as EQ, they are just not the same.
Managerial Skills - As an officer in a large, raiding guild, it is not easy to keep everyone happy and focused on the same goals.
Team Work - As someone who has been on both sides of the interview process, I can attest to the fact that most employers are looking for someone that works well in a team, something that one needs to be successful in WoW.
Diplomacy - Again, as someone who is an officer, we try, and successfully do, keep good relations with other the other guilds.
Now, two of these points were from an officer's perspective, which not everyone gets to experience, but they are lessons all the same. MMOs teaches skills that are more social then self reliant in nature. The author freely admits to being an intervert, and maybe that is why he dismisses MMOs, and WoW in particular.
You are correct in that this bill doesn't really benifit either party more than the next, but this is not designed to increase any ability. The bill is to restrict the powers of the Campaign Fiance Reform Act from extending into, not removing it from, the internet.
Sometimes what is construed as the 'best' tool for the particular task at hand for one, might not be for another.
I'm particular about vim. Now, this does not mean I'm on a 'religiosity' rant, if you want to use emacs, or any other particular IDE, that's fine with me. It's just that I have used various IDEs that are more particular to the language at hand (namely, eclipse and netbeans), and have found that I'm more productive using vim.
I cannot agree more. In fact, I have become somewhat of a code-nazi when it comes to this. Well spaced code allows it to be easier to read, like words and paragraphs.

...everyone here is defending this guy. He stole the works of others.

I know this is off topic, but...
