I have been a follower of John Dvorak's articles on PC Magazine for a long time. His column comes out like clockwork, but his Opinions page was not updated for weeks. A little searching found an article on Medium from John himself. He says that he was released for his article that was critical of the forthcoming 5G system, and the magazine went so far as to replace his article with a pro-industry article. You can read John's story here.
A sad sign of the times where advertising rules everything.

I don't know much about wireless protocols? And now Dvorak is thrown under the bus for the same thing, Curious, do not you think? Of course, much worse to be a journalist critical of the House of Saud, or the Trump of Putin. But still. It is only my ignorance of communication standards that makes me say these things. Seriously. AC is a stable genius, no doubt.

CNN has been reported by many different sources to have 90-92% of their coverage of Trump has negative, the president likes to call them Fake News. Fox News has been reported as having 52-60% of its coverage as negative and he says they are doing a pretty good job. So half of the time Fox covers him negatively, and yet they arent having any issues. In fact nobody is getting canned unless they are assaulting/raping their employees.

So the suck-up Auzzie Nazi, Rupert "sheep-dip" Murdock, only covers Trump negatively 52-60% of the time, in spite of strict orders from the top for 100% positive? And you think this shires against the 90-92% by actual journalism? Sulla, you are not even fooling yourself anymore. Fox is a Russian Agit-prop front running on Compromat! Feel the Burn! or more accurately, feel the Bern! The only way America can defeat the post-Soviet Russia is by being more socialist then they can afford to be! Can't wait until the next (real) American President starts pounding the table in the UN, with his shoe, and declares "We will bury you with health care for everyone!"

Just don't like your breath until, you'll suffocate.

Usually, it is other people who don't like my breath, because it smells bad. I like it, just because I am still having it, regardless of smell. So what are you saying, AC even more stupid than the AC I was attempting to blow bad breath into the face of? Is this a Trump thing, or a Kanye thing, or just an illiterate American racist thing?

Given your comments on here, it's probably the amount of shit emanating from your mouth!

Hmmm... discrimination against halitosis ... in spite of philosophical and ethical considerations, I can't argue against it. Physically, I mean. Not until my sense of smell fades enough.
I reckon actually it may have to do with human limits (grin)

Why would anyone want to do that? They're a land empire on the other side of the planet, leave them alone.
The "Post-Soviet" is why the left REALLY hates Russia. Slave owners and their lackeys usually aren't happy with emancipation quite as much as the slaves.

We all do, but since we don't have it, the next best thing is to be specific about which part of the post you are replying to...when you post an objection.

Resembles the propaganda against Communism taught in 70s-80s schools far more than Soviet Russia ever did.
It's a sad day when the bastion of freedom and democracy resembles communism just as much as the two communist superpowers resemble capitalism.

So, let me get what you are saying: 5G is a chinese plot to infiltrate our good American Gonads, and make them only attractive to Chinese women, who are spies for the Communist Partiee of China? I can go with that. As long as "Dancing With Rich Republcan Biatches loads and executes (if you know what I mean!!!) properly. So what the 1% got to worry about, with their serfes of the ether serving them well>
