If you truly dislike bullshit writing and don’t want to support it, hit the publishers where it hurts: don’t read it, and don’t link to it.

Marco brings up a good point, but there is another side to this. The mainstream media often writes complete shit articles that are factually wrong. Ignoring it won’t make it go away. The average consumer often believes the crap these people write, so taking them down a peg or two may help.

This can only be good for consumers.

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
