Sorry to burst on you, but a lot of news have always been based on suspicion and suposition.

You have to separate what is a news piece, a report, an opinion piece, speculation, etc. If you only recognize one them that is also on you, not on others being lemmings or you being a special being that is older than all.

 

Actually not. Only in the last few decades has there been a shift in perceptions of what news actually is, brought on by the huge amount of new media outlets vying for market share. This does not change the fact that Digital Foundry is one of these new media outlets, and how they are crossing the line with how they are misrepresenting the real facts. If you don't want to know what the real facts are, and are happy with outdated assumptions then that is on you.

Funny enough tabloids date to the beggining of the 20 century... same for yellow and brow paper news... So it isn't a invention of today.

And DF you may call it however you like, yet most newspapers today are even less credible than DF.

And again they aren't misrepresenting facts. Unless you have real data and proof you are just wanting to cover the reality because it isn't what you want it to be.

I'm neither happy nor unhappy with the news regarding Scorpio or Switch as my main gaming machine is PS, and from what we know they made a lot of assumption as well and were mostly right.

You need to understand that when we go sometime back in time, there wasn't need for source criticism on a scale like there is today. Basically everything in public came from trusted news outlet, and because paper (distribution) is expensive, the quality of the content was held in high value. At least that's how it was in the west, while you usually could spot the propaganda machines.

SonytendoAmiibo is reading DF as a propaganda machine, because these were built on speculation, misinformation and one-sided view. Todays clickbaiting news are nothing more than speculation, misinformation and one sided view. In other words, you may think DF is good because it's not as bad as others, when SonytendoAmiibo is saying DF isn't as good as it should be.

There wasn't a need or a way? Because as far as I know media have been filtering and manipulating what it's put (quality was better, but factuality not exactly) from at least before Cold War.

And you said yourself there were already propaganda machine, and you probably aknowledge brown and yellow papers.

He is reading it wrong because it doesn't convey the message he wants. You can see that the problem isn't the speculation but being negative. And unless you believe MS would reveal the info if queried and that DF refused to ask you can't claim they are being one sided neither they are misinforming since they are being clear about the source and what was informed and what is speculated. That is much more than what you'll get from most papers out there.

DF is good because they are professional in what they do and clear. And the OP isn't saying it isn't as good as it should be, he is saying they don't work out as he wants them too.

He is also probably against investigative journalism right? Because how dare those reporters get confidential documents, locked contracts, etc and build a case upon it.
