Intelligent readers also need to be aware that the first version of the story he posted seemed to accuse every site who attends the ATI Tech Day of a fundamental inability to be independent in their testing and copy.
Needless to say that I am sure several sites have 'web-wacked' that original version and will be considering taking action to defend their names.
CONCLUSION: If you are going to accuse the largest independent publications in Europe of being bent - make sure you have enough money in the bank to retain good council
I agree, I initially worded things a little stronger, as I don’t always subscribe to how certain journalists go about their business. This is however a personal opinion, and not necessarily the views of our publication. Hence I edited that out, as it isn’t fair to generalize everybody that does get an invitation to every ATI press event, product launch or briefing as such. Notice though that it was a broad generalization, I did not name specific publications as Andrzej Bania seems to imply.
This comment was however edited out minutes after posting and for what it’s worth I hereby would like to comment that I regret having said that and make a public apology to anyone that saw that comment and felt offended by it. All men err and sometimes take it a notch to far, I did on that occasion and hereby stand corrected.
Conclusion: I apologized because I made a mistake.
