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](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) 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...

Usually in a contract it stipulates that you cannot say anything bad about your advertisers. I understand it might not be right, but contracts are legally binding and Coindesk might have been in with them before anything bad happened and their contract would not allow them to do anything until it expires. They most likely cannot remove those advertisements until contract is up unless there is a loophole honestly.

This is a perfect example of "Don't Bite the Hand that Feeds You." ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.evilenglish.net%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2014%2F07%2FHandThatFeedsYou_1.gif&t=665&c=QkoTifQs3jAGJg) 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.

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?

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

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.

- snip - it's supposed to be a newsite - snip -
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.

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.

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.
