    I refuse to recognize MSN as a valid source. Nothing but a middleman serving ads.

      I admire how the victims of Microsoft Windows are fed msn news directly in the comfort of their start menu

      It’s probably a good thing, as MSN is not a primary source (They buy their news from other agencies)

        This is what I meant. It’s an aggregator whose primary function is not to relay news but to draw people into microsoftland and/or advertise to them. To be sure, other news sites do this too, but they actually have journalists and editors and therefore (at least the pretense of) journalistic integrity.

        It doesn’t. I found the same news several times over elsewhere, covered in more detail. I appreciate the sentiment though, thank you.
