4 polish big internet news sites wrote that Isc Sans discovered the first security hole in Firefox 1.5.
The article titles are – “”First exploit for Firefox 1.5”, “Security holes in Firefox? Who cares…”, “Serious security hole in Firefox 1.5″ and so on. Every article has the same source, every describes the story how someone found security hole and Mozilla’s guys that they don’t care, that they things it’s not a security hole and every article mentiones that the fix will probably get into next stable version, summer next year.
To stay fair with truth every article mentiones in bottom”update” section that Mozilla claims that it’s NOT a security hole, that they could not prove it… SO HOW THE F*CK COULD THEY FIX IT?
Those articles are pathetic, I see no objectivism, no will to show both sides of the “conflict”, no will to dig BEFORE writing…
What a bullshit… They call it “journalizm”?
And, funny, not all of those 4 news sites overall had press news about Firefox 1.5 release! But about potential bug, woah, that’s a good subject for a great article, huh?
I’m not pissed off that they wrote it. I’m pissed off about how they balanced what one site wrote with what heads in Mozilla said.
I hate journalism that is built on top of lazyness and sensations.

The same here in Germany. One articel made me even angy enough to write the editor, no response so far.
Not a single one of those so called journalists took the time to check the reporter of the “bug”. They just repeated what he said, not minding, that he was a complete stranger with no reputation at all. He could have said anything and that’d have written that. That’s what makes me angry, everything just to get more attention for the article.
Because to beat Firefox (or in another words MoFo) it is quite cool in these times.. Sad, but I really start to thinking that honeymoon has ended for Fireofox.
U should say “bullshit” and show sweet as^2hole and don’t care about masters of bullshit particularly like IDG 😉
