So if Businessweek gets it this wrong...

on something we know all about, can you imagine how screwed up their foreign policy, financial and political reporting is?

I have been interviewed by "the press" on at least 12 occasions. Seven of them misquoted me in some measure, and two just flat out got it wrong (lied?... well.... maybe)

I have read articles about Photoshop, Quark, Picasa... many of the programs that I live in... and seen absolutely wrong assertions, claims and statements of 'fact. It was blatantly clear that the writer didn't actually use the software, but 'interviewed' someone and then screwed up their notes. This particular article is so poorly researched, written and fact-checked that it makes a mockery of the journalistic profession.

Now, think about that when they tell you they know what makes good policy, or what effect a tremendously complex economic model has on inflation. Morons.
