Bias is something totally different than being untrustworthy.

I write for TorrentFreak and while I agree that we have our own look on things, we do check all facts carefully, possibly more than the average 'news' outlet.

Please back up your untrustworthy claim or stick to the bias one.

TorrentFreak is well written and well research; its story selection is different to other more mainstream news sites. Much like al jazeera, this makes it an extremely useful and valuable news site. I do wish for a more mainstream name though! It always seems slightly embarrassing referring people to an authoritative piece on 'TorrentFreak.com'

Should have thought about that 5 years ago ;)

I still think TorrentFreak is a great news source, Ernesto. :)

Thanks :)

I don't mind critique at all, but it's frustrating if people call it untrustworthy when we spend hours every day checking facts and gathering sources.

Ernesto, I also like TF, dont get me wrong, I do read it and enjoy it every day.

As you say, you do have your view on certain things. My feeling is that that extreme view, in many cases, makes me wonder the actual facts. Maybe 'untrustworthy' was a bad term to use.

I see what you mean there. I have the same thing with reading press releases from the MPAA ans RIAA.

Well, ernesto, please reply to http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1942406

I just did.. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1942998

Sadly, I agree.

I've also noticed the same recently while reading a TechDirt article. If only they were more objective, it would really lend to their credibility.
