Editorial On Intel and Their $7B White House Affair

Nothing is apolitical, even political passivity. This article has a point that needed to be made.
 
There it is. Leftist propaganda has reached TPU. RIP.
 
I saw this coming when your sister site posted the same.
First of all, why all these twisty stinky non-proven non-executed politics on TPU? Jumping on the daily hysteria bandwagon?
Why talk about a bunch of hair that tweets like farts that has not done anything yet?
I was thinking the same thing! I am glad you brought it up. Thank you! I come here to check out PC related news, not to hear libs whine.
 
Instead of hoping for the best to come out of such a meeting between two businessmen for the betterment of peoples lives, you write a story with a negative spin to it? The U.S. is a corporation and should be govern as such. This way, everyone gets a piece of the pie, from big to small. If you want socialism, move to the Scandinavias. Now, lets go back to good ole techie stuff :)
 
I don't remember TPU writing an editorial when Obama bailed out banks to the tune of trillions of taxpayer money, only to hire to his administration some of the names responsible for the very bankruptcy.
This article is leftist propaganda, has no place in a tech site, it's shameful and biased and you should withdraw it with an apology.
 
Please keep this site apolitical! I'm seriously considering not to go here anymore after such a blatant hit piece on the current president.

Why not write that Trump was the reason Intel decided to put the "indefinitely" cancelled project off ice? You could have still conveyed the message that Intel was planning this longer, although everybody knows planning and actually doing are two completely separate things.

Instead of viewing this just as optimistic news from Intel and Trump that the plant
in fact is going to be built, when it wasn't sure before... you put it in a bad light by prognosticating that it "probably won't be built in Trump's first term". You don't mention that these thing usually take a while to plan and build, and that they are now trying to work with a totally different administration and new laws...

This shouldn't be on TPU and should be taken down with an apology, if you don't want an exodus of many of your readers who voted for Trump, I have to assume you just see as "deplorable, sexist and racist" like someone who you most likely voted for, if you did.

Nor is it leftist, nor is it propaganda. It's about transparency, and not spinning the truth. Those values are universal.

I'm the one who wrote it, and it was my decision to write on this topic - that it never happened before doesn't mean it shouldn't have.

Though what you say is true that there wasn't a TPU article about the bailout, I wasn't here when that happened. Because I guarantee you, I would definitely have written something about that.

Those things you mention are all in the piece. I even explain how it wasn't Trump who took the project off ice. It was an Intel decision, taking advantage of the timing to approach the administration.

I actually don't understand how some of the facts that I use to back up my opinion aren't even considered, and are just glossed over. Maybe they're not that convenient. But I stand by what I wrote, and always will.
 
Yo be fair, it Is marked as editorial right under the title, in green :p

Just thought I would mention, nowhere do I see this as marked Editorial here, only on the TPU home page.

Ahhh, I see the issue... I'll make sure to let the powers that be know about that. Thank you :)

No problem! I'm not of an opinion either way...I am glad you maintained a fine line. The Editorial banner is great for people visiting the site from the outside, as a great many do. The complaints mostly come from, I believe, the heavy forum regulars, who frequently come straight to the forums while bypassing the main page. So then when your article is seen by them, it is listed differently in the News section.

Dude's in office 3 weeks we already have had this "story", and at least one poll that Wiz posted within days of election and far before he even was in office...sorry libs, this is "transparent" but not in the way Raevenlord claims, it's transparent it's a way to diss Trump and say Obama gets credit for this as well as to bring politics into TPU when we had 8 years of Obozo and I don't remember a single story that mentioned him whatsoever never mind polled us all about how his policies could hurt techville, before he even was sworn in.

Because what you are calling facts are just simply your interpretation of the facts, not facts. Although Intel didn't say they revived the project because of Trump, doesn't prove in any way they didn't do it because he won.

Even though the whole timing and public presentation of the announcement with Trump seems to scream otherwise, you still want to interpret it your way. Fine. But don't say it's a fact, and not just liberal scraping to pull anything remotely negative about Trump out of thin air.

As I said, what companies plan internally and what they actually do in the end are completely different things. If you don't know this, I assume you never worked at any real company in your life, on any big projects. Your investigation on the inner communications at Intel doesn't prove an ounce what they might have done or not done with or without Trump. It's simply your assumption of having all the facts when you don't, and your arrogance to still push a negative story without having those facts, which is more than just unethical. It's another journalist who thinks he's "fighting the power" by just slandering the president.

This is exactly why Trump won, by the way, because facts are 'too hard' nowadays for some journalists. Every intuition is called a fact now, no matter how delusional or how many actual facts it ignores.

I'm really taking a break from this place.

"Convenient"? Please. Next you will be quoting from "Inconvenient Truth" Algore's wonderful piece of fiction you probably idolized as a kid watching in school. We read the piece and we know all you wrote and Wiz was here along with many others when 8 years of Obama occurred and no one said boo, you claiming if you were here you'd have written something about bailout etc is laughable. The inconvenient "facts" here are you libs are having a cow about Trump whatever he does, and your piece is just evident of that.

Also throwing the word "universal" around is a red herring, it's a way to legitimize anything you say while insulating yourself from any criticism because it makes it sound like any scrutiny of your opinions are invalid.

Amen again. It's a hit piece disguised as some lame attempt at journalism, wasn't even properly labeled as editorial as pointed out, and regardless of labelled or not you had 8 years of Obama and I heard not one peep here about him certainly not negative...you reap what you sow, and this is sowing salt to everyone who is either apolitical, here to avoid politics for a bit, and all those who are Trump supporters (gasp) or at least may be open minded enough even if they didn't vote for him to not want to see this hit piece you'd expect on CNN (fake news) or PMSNBC.

Yes, I remember now that "unbiased" poll.
To TPU writers: use your safe spaces to recharge your emotional batteries and leave this site unpolluted.
Otherwise, if Le Pen and/or Geert Wilders win what will you do ? Cut your veins and splash red all over these pages ? Get a grip.

Government is a corporation? That is a good one. How do you "fire" the poor people? And "layoff" the disables?
 
I'm leaving this site after this comment. I think this post really shows where TPU stands. Stupid libs.
 
Yo be fair, it Is marked as editorial right under the title, in green :p

Yeah, I noticed but it's only in the front page. Just a recommendation though.
 
Whoa!! Backs out slowly with no sudden moves....

Your everyone getting a "piece of the pie" comment is very lib, so your "stupid libs" remark is actually funny. I don't care one way or the other your preferences, I just like to point out inconsistencies where people don't understand what they are saying. :)
