Sorry, but based on WHAT? Our son's extremely technically savvy, he's subscribed to Wired since its inception (we actually gave a subscription in its first year to him as a birthday gift), and he disagrees.

Please explain your allegation. Just this comparison of a report (which right wing fake-news outlets like Fox really don't want people to read) to Fox itself is hardly enough. More than Fox-style unscientific emotional reactions are required here. We're Age of Reason people.
