While it was not as impartial as the NY Times should have been they didnt say anything that was incorrect.

So exactly what part of what was said was untrue? I'm sorry, but when you're you're this late to the market you really should try to hit a home run, not a dying quail of a single.

This is borderline Daily Show territory. But, it was informative journalism nonetheless!

This is just typical Pogue. He has a lot of similar videos. Apparently you've never seen them before. He used to have a television show as well.

No, I've never seen the chap before. If that's his style, then fair enough.

I wish all advertising was like this! You hear a line of the sales pitch and you're just waiting for the catch (or footnote) and then for once you actually get to hear it loud and clear! lol

That was funny and spot on.

I see no reason why they should be impartial. After all, their hard reporting isn't exactly impartial either.

Lol. Also, I didn't catch anything incorrect about what was stated, so I don't see how it was an impartial video...

He's considered more of an opinion columnist than objective reporting. Besides, since he is widely followed, his work is usually taken as a body so it is in context of his other opinion pieces. This single web clip isn't generally taken here in the US, where he is well known, as his single opinion on these ebook readers.
