No, it's definitely called fact checking. I'm not surprised that you seem to be unfamiliar with the concept.

It's one thing to allow comments to a story like this. It's quite another to update your article with comments from a non-corroborated source. I've found that Fortune articles are part of the problem in trying to discern Apple's moves. When you post people's wishes or thoughts as news, then every other site posts it as news, and then Fortune refers to them as a source, and then it's reported by CNBC & every other news outfit. This process creates a feedback loop, hiding real news in a sea of useless noise. Did you actually check with a source at any Apple Store to see if they have vacation time limitations at the same time as AT&T employees? This is known as "fact checking."

ex ped: No, that's called reporting.

Another update from Mr. Steve: All Apple employees, male or female, are forbidden to have babies from June 9 to August 1 due to the grand celebration of our precious iPhone's first Birthday. All pregnant employees, male or female, should either induce prior to this date or plug until August. Each complying employee will be rewarded with an iPhone teething ring made of genuine Apple plastics. Noncompliance will result in immediate termination without severance.

Have a nice day,

Stevie

BTW, I have it on "very good" authority that Apple Retail store employees have the same black-out dates as do the at&t wireless employees.
