Mai Excited about Validation!

I agree with MikeB, Paul_Gadd and the rest: this is not news, it's opinion.
It's certainly not good journalism. Why?
- Straw man: the person is attacking a company for what 3rd parties may or may not have claimed re their product
- Inbuilt bias: it would appear that at no point has any attempt been made to contact MAI for further details or explanation
- It contains blatant untruths and mis-representations (it is for example claimed that the Articia S doesn't work with the 750 FX)
- It makes use of emotionally charged words in what I would call a dishonest way, particularly "earn". This is marketing usage, not journalism
- The article first appeared on Morphzone, a forum about which the visitor is told nothing, most particularly who runs it and how closely related it is to Genesi. Personally, until such points are cleared up I'd rank it on a par with an article on Linux published on MSN.
Good try, but lacks form, balanced research, and unfortunately appears to have a pre-loaded agenda. More for The Sun than The Guardian, I'm afraid.

You would except [sic] to see a report exactly like this on a national consumer television program such as MarketPlace in Canada.  

Ah yes, television, where the spectacular necessarily prevails over the rigorous. Never mind the facts, just look at the audience ratings. Not a good reference, I'm afraid, although a conscientious TV hack would have tried to talk to MAI as well.
