Online Media Morals

Here's a an interesting editorial posted at Amdmb.com by Ryan Shrout, written when he was refused entry to the Million Man Lan 2 event, where AMD would be showing off their upcoming Athlon64 product! Here's a snip:

This weekend at the Million Man Lan 2 (MML2) this usual series of events was shifted due to manufacturer and media company coming to their own terms. It started when I was attempting to attend the MML2 event, in Louisville, KY. I was told by a representative of AMD that I was not going to be allowed to even enter the building because Tom?s Hardware (THG) had forced a media blackout for all other online press. That means that as a member of the press, I was not allowed to enter the building, take photos or write about the hardware events that would occur inside. Needless to say, I was not happy when I heard about this turn of events.
