●● Steven Vaughan-Nichols: Mouthpiece for Jim Zemlin, Salaried by (or via) ZDNet

Posted in Deception, Free/Libre Software, GNU/Linux at 11:39 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

ZDNet and Zemlin are both funded by and connected to Microsoft

All the fluff about OIN and the Linux Foundation is paid for. It’s a priority because of money.

The business model (other than advertising for companies like Microsoft). Jim Zemlin’s PAC openly admits paying so-called ‘news’ sites to parrot the press releases. These folks brag about this in sponsorship brochures.

Summary: In ZDNet, all the latest 5 “articles” about “Linux” are just spam/puff pieces for the Linux Foundation (screenshot above), a front group of monopolies and foes of the GPL. ZDNet’s Steven Vaughan-Nichols also defamed the person behind the GPL. Follow through to narratives.zdnet.com and find: “Through ZDNet Narratives, our advertising partners tell their comprehensive product and solutions stories” (so it’s not journalism but narratives for sale or coin-operated pundits who cover what the sponsors tell them to)

=> ZDNet | spam/puff pieces | Linux Foundation | foes of the GPL | defamed the person behind the GPL
