As expected: Microsoft Earns Best Corporate Reputation in 2004 66

WTF? Could you explain that in English? Before you start calling people names, you should really read the story you cited. Some quotes:

"The Index is conducted by Delahaye, a division of Bacon's Information Inc., a provider of media research, distribution, monitoring and evaluation services for public relations, marketing and corporate communications professionals."

"Delahaye begins by gathering news from America's most prominent national news sources. From the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal to Fortune, ABC World News Tonight and Bloomberg, Delahaye captures news from all of the nation's most influential general and business media."

"About Delahaye:

Delahaye (www.delahaye.com), a division of Bacon's Information Inc., is an international, award-winning research and analysis firm that specializes in helping clients understand and actively manage their public relations and communications programs."

"About Bacon's Information Inc.:

Bacon's (www.bacons.com) buttists communications, marketing and PR professionals maximize results in media relations."

So here is a PR firm with a vested interest in corporate America, reading bogus newspaper stories - stories that often repeat, word-for-word, some corporate press release - from which it constructs an index. Maybe crap is too good a word for it.

Don't forget, these are the same newspapers that were cheering on the criminal cabal in Washington as it set off on its goal of world domination.
