@GossiTheDog I must be misunderstanding the independent, I see it badly and slowly aggregating tech news all the time but I'm not a brit. And the front page of Microsoft news is almost always garbage. In fact, normally it's more impactful garbage that i unfortunately have to see regularly. Sorry, I still don't think that's a huge deal.
If the BBC published it, okay, that would warrant the reaction. As it is, it's a minor and very silly misunderstanding. I'm open to the idea that I'm missing something but right now it just looks like a funny fixation on a strange little story that no one outside of cyber cares about anyway. We're in a bubble.
This isn't meant to be an attack on you btw. I think the work you do to respond to media issues is super valuable. I just think, in aggregate, this community is overreacting.
