Accuracy In Journalism (?)

From PCWorld.com:

The headline:

Quote:
IT Pros Find Smut on 3 out of 4 Employee Laptops
The article:

Quote:
Nearly three-quarters of corporate security and IT professionals in the U.S. have found "inappropriate" pictures, videos or browser cache links on employee laptops, a survey released Wednesday shows.
IT Pros Find Smut on 3 out of 4 Employee Laptops - PC World

Either their headline writer can't read too well, or was having a bad day.

Statistics!!! Only this guy REALLY got them wrong.....

Go figure......

Scary about the press huh.....

so much power----and yet so little control.....

We trust them to have integrity----and trust waht they put in the papers....

Yet----what may be most important to them is "selling news".....

Famous old time humorist Will Rodgers once said, "I only trust what I read in the papers!" But when you see him say it on film----he has this Chessire Cat grin and a look on his face that REALLY says....

I NEVER trust what I read in the papers.....

Re: Accuracy In Journalism (?)

If you look for the original article on computerworld, the either had a correct headline or fixed. This appears to be be PCWorld's fault and not Eric Lai's.

Many IT pros find inappropriate material on employee laptops - dell, laptops, laptop security - Computerworld

I would log in to make fun in the article comments, but I am too lazy to register.
