I often sing the praises of the New York Times, so it was disheartening to read Steve Wozniak’s tale of how they asked him to write an op-ed piece about Microsoft, which he did, but they turned it around, trying to get him to spin it into good PR for Microsoft. He refused to let them print a reworked version. Woz states “one of the key Microsoft executives writes a column for the New York Times”. Hmmm I know Bill Gates used to write a New York Times column. Does he still? Well, I know unbiased media is next to impossible, but I will continue to appreciate the Times’ high caliber writing.
