> Does anyone here actually find Slashdot useful for information?
Sure I do. Of course you have to reallize that any news outfit will taint
the news with its own perspective. CNN, Fox, New York Times, etc. are no
different in that respect.
You should equally pooh-pooh news from any of the major news media as well.
Since they too provide significant entertinment value. Not saying slashdot
good, cnn bad. But think about this: there is an unwritten rule on slashdot
that sources of information (in posts) should be cited so that readers can
evaluate the source themselves. Do any of the major media do that?
