Journalism is doomed
A sop to lazy tech journalists:
But to mention the existence and subsequent failure of all these previous iTunes/iPod killers would be to provide context, and as a useful tool for understanding the value and worth of news, context is something journalists are very careful to not include in their stories.
1. The article says "challenge" iTunes. Nowhere do we get 'iTunes doomed', except in your hysteria. As a matter of fact, the people quoted in the article take great pains to avoid overreaching claims.
2. WRT journalism, give it a rest. What the "tech press" never gets is that the rest of journalism is under no obligation to practice the same sort of crony-ridden, undisclosed relationship-fostering, press-release regurgitating, back-scratching horseshit that passes for "reporting" on the tech beat. Sorry.
