Well, I still like slashdot, but it IS worth fact checking their articles.  |

That happens sometimes, DS was said to be able to run old GB games when it was modified... which was false.
I'm more annoyed at how uneven the site is. If slashdot was as fanatical to google as to other IT companies out there...  |

See, I tend to take Slashdot with rather a very heavy grain of salt, maybe that's why it doesn't annoy me so much.
I tend to skim over it, and mutter "bullshit... bullshit... bullshit..." as I read most the headlines so admittedly I find not so much there that's interesting as I used to find, but I haven't yet found an alternative that I enjoy either... |

...when I think on it, I see more bullshit in other random news sources. So Slashdot isn't really that bad. Although many times my favorites articles isn't even on the mainpage.
It's lot better than aftonbladet.se. Especially when slashdot dosen't say anything at all about celebrities, I could care less what they do and is really annoyed at the media coverage they get.

Originally posted by EmptyeyeOf note was the "MS anti-Spyware Tool Detects Firefox as Spyware" story. They put it up with obviously NO fact-checking done whatsoever, then when NO LESS THAN THE AUTHOR OF THE PICTURE/ARTICLE said "It's a fake! Way to suck, Slashdot!" only added a note saying "Several people have pointed out it is likely fake."
That pretty much made me lose all respect for /. as a legitimate news site.
So yeah. That's my problem with Slashdot.
Erm, news site has to put more effort in their reports if the want people to believe them. 
Even Aftonbladet.se is better at that. |

| No they aren't, they're usually using strange sources and publicates Urban legends as fact too often. |
