It's ironic that the report criticizes 60 Minutes for being biased while showing its own bias in the same paragraph

> The 60 Minutes report was not exactly fair-and-balanced; it featured an anti-tech-monopoly crusader , an anti-tech-monopoly activist, an anti-tech-monopoly regulator, and Yelp CEO Jeremy Stoppelman

Characterizing these people, especially Margrethe Vestager, as "anti-tech" (i.e. simply being against technology) when they're just critical of certain aspects and developments in the industry and don't paint such a rosy picture, is very misleading.



Not anti-tech.

Anti tech monopoly. Against technology monopolies.

There's a critical difference.


Thank you! That's exactly my point


Yeah, I didn't like the barb aimed at Vestager either, mostly because as I'm Irish and appreciative of her making our Government collect taxes properly.
