As we have oft noted, the nation’s Tech Media is a perfect microcosm of the Traditional Media. They are largely unintelligent, profoundly unoriginal and mostly hardcore Leftist. When a Tech story hits – the Tech Media reacts in unison. When a Tech story breaks through to the Traditional Media – the Traditional reaction is identical […]
