The thing about this thread is that it's fanboyism as usual, by which I mean that the conversation here immediately jumps to talking about who has more failures, Sony or Microsoft, and the only question here that people seem to think is relevant to that Great Struggle, is whether or not the reporter's questions were "biased" -- if they are, there's a media bias against Sony (at least in this case,) and if they aren't, Sony just doesn't want to face up to the facts, and their brilliant young developer Jaffe is a little crybaby who can't take the heat.
The funny thing is, you can't say whether these questions are biased or not just by reading them. Whether or not the questions are biased could totally change depending on what the article they are included in ends up saying. The questions merely suggest the possibility of a biased article. It could be an article painting poor old Sony on it's last legs, or it could be an article asking tough questions of some industry "personailities." The funnier thing is that Jaffe pretty much says this during his post. Several times. (Even though it contradicts what he says in the beginning about showing an example of "media bias.")
That said, it was easy to see Jaffe seemed offended during his post. Can anyone here understand why?
A reporter just sent you a bunch of unusually hard questions, fishing for inside information about you and your colleagues' feelings about the company that supports you, which is going through hard times.
The reporter also happens to be working for the corporation in direct competition with your parent company.
Worst case, the reporter is hoping to use your publicity (because you're a well known industry "personality") to write a damning and biased article about, once again, the company that feeds your wife and children -- in effect using your company's own good publicity against it, in a skillfull attack of reporter jujitsu.
Lol, I don't think I'd answer, either.
