What Efforts to Cancel Richard Stallman Ought to Teach Us About the Media, Including Very Large British Publishers

Richard Stallman (RMS) is like a modern-age Alfred<br>Dreyfus
In May 2008 RMS came to<br>Manchester to give a talk. I brought a colleague with me to the<br>talk and he liked the message very much. That was nearly 2 decades<br>ago. A decade later some<br>local media wrote about RMS.
That wasn't long (about a year) before the Bill Gates<br>pedo-lationship with MIT made the news. Days later MIT<br>decided to throw the wrong person under the bus.<br>It would later become crystal clear that the real culprit who laid<br>his hands on young girls and passed sexually-transmitted diseases<br>around them was Bill Gates.<br>British media bribed by Bill Gates tried to deflect again<br>months ago; and again,<br>it got caught lying and relaying lies for Bill Gates. That<br>really says a lot about the state of the media, does it not?
People are still furious about what was done to RMS or angry at<br>RMS, based on misconceptions that<br>refuse to go away because of utterly shoddy media, egged on by<br>spineless losers with<br>big mouths. █
