🥩 Red Meat Friday: A Case For Journalists

Posted on 2023-09-29 by jcs

Technology Saves the World

Posted on 2021-06-24 by jcs

This Is Tech Journalism

Posted on 2020-12-09 by jcs

Even casual readers know that Irreal holds a generally dim view of journalists. But this isn’t another post about their bias and ignorance of their subject matter. This is a post about silliness masquerading as serious journalism. It’s about writing … Continue reading →

Posted on 2018-10-13 by jcs

A Clueless Journalist on Apple’s Self Repair Program

Posted on 2022-06-01 by jcs

Long time readers know that Irreal doesn’t hold journalists in high regard. Oddly, the worst offenders are journalists on the tech beat. It’s odd because you’d expect them to know the difference between a computer and a composter but they … Continue reading →

Prosecuting the Press

Posted on 2021-10-15 by jcs

As you all know, Irreal doesn’t think very highly of journalists and the press. What Irreal likes even less is know-nothing politicos who nevertheless feel fully qualified to opine and pass judgment on technical matters. The Congressional hearings on social … Continue reading →

The New York Times Proves My Point

Posted on 2019-09-17 by jcs

Last week, I reminded everyone that Irreal doesn’t hold journalists in high regard and that Apple, in particular, appears to bring out the worst in tech reporters. The Paper of Record must have been feeling left out because they published … Continue reading →
