amazing at lack of ethics in journalism

they know that the headline can be created honestly (like . . . "how one online poker site was hacked") but they go with the sensationalist approach instead

Sadly, anyone who knows anything about journalism and mass media could have guessed that this story is going to look like this: "online poker is rigged". Those guys, generally speaking, don't really care if it's pokerstars or party or absolute. For the average joe (who is the target of all those annoying headlines) they are all basically the same anyway. Now It's the other sites' job to make the differentiation. The media couldn't care less about it.

nickjehz: i always lose big pots on the river
nickjehz: runner runners
