MODERATORS
Consider this: A person has their iPhone battery replaced with a cheap Chinese 3rd party battery. A month later, the battery catches fire, injuring the person. Which headline do you honestly believe will run:
Apple iPhone catches fire, injures owner.
Unauthorized replacement iPhone battery catches fire, injures owner.
Sound like another reason for the "free press" to get reforms about their accuracy reporting the "news". I am typically against such restrictive legislation but if the news holds that much power, they need to see some regulation put in place.
