Surprised to see there wasn't a topic on this already.

I'm sure this isn't a surprise to anyone, but man, if it isn't a disappointment.

I'm not sure why they didn't name names. Except for the obvious lawsuit implications, but c'mon, you can't pretend to be a hard-hitting journalist and then say "but we won't name names."

Does kinda render the article... well... pointless.

Remember, if you accuse everybody else of being potentially unreliable, the only one who is not guilty by association is you...

That, or they want to blackmail the sites that fell for it.
