QOTW: It's not news, it's TMC

Just a quickie.

I've commented before on TMC letting the opinions of their reporters into their news articles and not exercising sufficient editorial oversight over the practice.  The combination creates the situation we have today where many EVE players -- even large numbers of loyal TMC readers -- regard themittani.com as nothing more than the CFC propaganda arm rather than a news website.

Latest example is this article (in the TMC News section, written by Angry Mustache) which includes this combination of amusing lines:

In classic TEST fashion, TEST made their entrance in the most incompetent way possible...
Then later in the article...
Attempts to contact TEST leadership were unanswered, and TMC was politely told to leave.
Gee.  I wonder why.

After turning on your BS filters, do go read the news both there and on EN24, though.  Lots of stuff happening yesterday and today, the net result of which is going to make null-sec a whole lot less interesting:
  • TEST appears to be abandoning Delve for Aridia low-sec;
  • CVA gave in to SOUND's philosophical demands (which will result in SOUND also falling back to low-sec);
  • The Dinner Squadron also appears to be disbanding and going every which way; because,
  • Insidious Empire is leaving the south entirely over the next month.
With NCdot quietly taking over Querious the last couple of months, no points for guessing what happens next.
