Sorry, I didn't mean to say that she was a bad journalist. Overall she has 
given KDE some very nice coverage, especially in the accessibility article. I 
just meant to say that she, like all time-pressed journalists out for the 
story, needs to be given a simple, unambiguous message to be safe, and she 
has on occasion run some interesting lines :-) But then that's a consequence 
of reporting, rather than investigative journalism... you don't get the time 
to work out the real, full story.

Not only that, but it feeding the three clear points makes life *much* easier 
for journalists, unless they're digging for something, so you'll keep better 
relations with them if you feed them what they want on a plate ;-)

Regards,
Tom
