You know literally nothing about the profession of journalism. What you called searching the Web for a company defending itself, I call basic fact-checking. And fact-checking is the foundation of good reporting. You claim it's not Kyle's responsibility to look for more information, yet Kyle is the editor of this news/review site. How can you possibly say it's not his responsibility to get all the facts, or at least make every effort to do so?
And it's ridiculous for you to claim he had no way to verify the information he received -- he could have simply picked up the phone, as other reporters did, and called D&H for a comment. He did not. Thus, he received a nasty and completely justified C&D letter. He was wrong. Case closed.
I didn't claim it wasn't his responsibility to check facts. I didn't realize I was meddling in journalism either.
Once again, his fact checking hasn't been proven false. He has admitted this is a discrepancy in the information, and will look into the issue. During this time he has gone as far as apologize to D&H since NewEgg has vouched for their credibility. And again, D&H figured out how to send him a C&D, what part was so hard for them to send him additional information?
I never said he couldn't verify the information he received. I said, he hasn't posted additional information that he has no way of verifying.
