I have contacted Coindesk and they refuse to write a negative comment on Kncminers... do to the fact that Knc has advertisements on their site Sad

I have twitted coindesk and email and from my understanding they are refusing to write a bad review ...

Coindesk selling out to all might $ or BTC

I say STOP doing any business with Coindesk until they remove ALL advertisements that have to do with KNCminer...

Tut..tut...Owners of Coindesk are exercising their property rights to run their business as they see fit, anyway they want.

You can either ignore Coindesk or put up with it.....your choice.

These are not your only choices. Your best choice would probably be to understand they need to earn money from advertisements as they are a media business. Any business that relies on advertising revenue will have a very high standard before they will decide to not sell ad space to them.

Just because they are displaying their ad does not mean they are endorsing them in any way. Just that they are letting them send a clearly paid message to potential customers

I like to read Coindesk's articles.. . :S.. Don't really care if they refuse to shittalk one of their backers TBH.

There's nothing wrong with reading propaganda as long as you understand that what you are reading is propaganda and don't mistakenly think it's news.

Agreed, alas is any news station not completely spewing out propaganda..

it is really sad when a media is not impartial and it does not give the true to its readers

You can either ignore Coindesk or put up with it.....your choice.

Or point out to others specifically what CoinDesk is doing, in case they hadn't noticed.

Or exercise your own free speech right to express your opinion about them.

It looks like you missed a few choices.

This is one of the downsides of using adblock. You can't see through things like that one Tongue

Where did you get a silly idea like that?

Coindesk has never been a news site. It has been a propaganda outlet from the day it was created.

News sites conform to certain standards of reporting, disclosure, and non-bias.

I've never seen anything from Coindesk that indicates that it holds itself to any form of journalistic integrity at all.

That would be fine and dandy if KNC weren't basically outright scamming / lying to their customers BFL style..

KNC is that bad now :S...

TBH I'd only ever and have only ever bought from bitmaintech and rockminer.

It has always been pretty obvious that Coindesk was a propaganda outlet and not a news organization.

This behavior is exactly what I would expect of a propaganda outlet. I don't understand why you or anyone else would be surprised?

better everyday ♥

This is a perfect example of "Don't Bite the Hand that Feeds You."

Advertising pay the bills, unfortunately, Coindesk "looks away" or "turns it back" on any negligence, misappropriation, or wrongdoing KNC may have caused it's customers.
