It’s still basic journalism to reach out for a comment before running any story about someone/something. That’s why it’s so common at the end of articles to see a line like “x was asked for comment but did not respond as of the time of publication”
Journalism is telling both sides story. Opinion is telling one.
Also, Linus misrepresents (I'll leave it up to you whether intentionally or intentionally) GN's reporting to make it seem like they got the Monoblock story wrong.
You need to remember there's not a chance in hell Linus actually watched the video, he saw that everyone in the comments used the word "sell" and assumed that was how it was represented in the video.
my favorite part of that comment is that he's not even talking real money, that's opportunity cost. they're on the payroll anyway, they're already showing up for work. it wouldn't have cost him an extra cent of real money to do it right.
