Christopher Hoff over at the Rational Survivability blog gave a talk on virtualization over at BlackHat. It appears that he was grossly misquoted by one of the reporters.
What Hoff said:
…virtualization security will not save you money, it will cost you more.
What the reporter cited:
…virtualization will not save you money, it will cost you more.
You can read more about the situation on Hoff’s blog here. However, when I take this situation into account with other misquotes, misreports, and overall lack of proper grammar I am beginning to see on sites like Fox and MSNBC.com, I begin to wonder if we should not start holding the press more accountable for accuracy.
We do, after all, rely on the press to know what’s going on. It’s hard to know what’s going on if they screw it up.
