Yes, yes, they advertise they are unbiased until they are called out on things. Resorting to waving away comments proclaiming the article is now an 'opinion piece'.

Does this mean that evenews24 is a better news site? Of course not. If anything they need each other. Like I mentioned in a previous thread (one started by a goon alt of course), competition is good. Will the EVE community eventually find an EVE news related website that delivers unbiased articles backed up by solid facts? Probably not.

Every news source has an agenda and this new one is no different. Even in his own words, this website was launched as an answer to someone he hates and to gain more control of the game. So if you want news, do yourself a favor; if you visit one, check the other.

Or better yet, get out there and make your own news! Cool

EDIT: Fun fact! That 'Intel Drop Box' only comes into play when it is intel on non-blues to goons. If the intel dropped has enough information on a friendly, the IP address is logged to help find hostile spies and the operation is scrapped and no intel is released on the website about the tip. Shocking I know. Lol


Well darn. She got me.

I have no idea who you are but you completely exposed our plan to take over eve and then the world all through our exceptional Tracking technology and automagical propaganda systems (tm).

Guess we had better give up now and become amish or something.

I also moderate the comments and over the last few days, I've been deleting a literal Tidalwave of comments that talk of how much they hate theMittani.com so I suppose you have a point there. But I've been deleting them because they also say some variation of "Vile Rat deserved to die" .

Tinfoil and paranoid immaturity seem to go hand in hand.

Once you think you have it all, you have actually become ignorant towards everything else.

Yep. This is definitely not cool.

But makes me wonder if goons will remember how distasteful this shameful behavior is next time it happens to a non-goon. I won't hold my breath, as irony always seems to escape the goon mind.

The USSR had Pravda, the republicans have fox, and the goons have their own website.
It is simply another vehicle for the goons propaganda and lies.

Threads created or attacked by the null sec zealot propaganda teams on this website can be countered and sometimes (though not often) actually be overwhelmed by the usually silent majority.

However, on that site, the propaganda teams can spot whatever lies they like, and censor any responses they like.

Any information source associated with the goons can rest assured be mostly lies, and always, always will provide disinformation used to further a null sec zealot agenda.

Man there's some real tinfoil hattery in this thread, overall I think that mittens web site does a fairly balanced news service, it's not entirely one sided, seems open to guest articles from opponents of the CFC and Sindels parodies are awsomesauce. It's not harsh on the eyes either so that helps.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

I find it funny how Seleene, Trebor and Two-step, among others, have had blogs talking about EVE stuff for ages now, but suddenly all that people can do is talk about Mittens' one.

It's not that bad, but its far from being the best one. Of course, those other guys (all CSM, by the way) don't have a massive number of brown nosers making alt-posts talking about their sites.


Seleene, Trebor and Two-Step all have blogs that point out stuff from their viewpoints. This isn't a blog, it's meant to be a news site. More like a direct competitor to Evenews24.com with writers from all walks.

I think the name is unfortunate (I personally wouldn't have named it that).

Sometimes I wonder if you pubbies ever bother looking into the current locations of the old school Iconoclasts who's behavior you judge us by... kind of like a "Where are they now"

Hint: It's not in goonfleet.

Of course those comments need to be removed, but you know damn well those are hardly the ones I am talking about.

And I don't pull punches on his website either. Which is even better cause I get to jab him directly in alliance chat. P

I will note I have heard good things about how your website functions really well on a tablet. Functionality is important. You did nail that. Being an unbiased news website? I guess i won't bring up the article that was submitted from the perspective of NCdot about this war. The guy worked really hard on it and it was a real solid piece that expressed very accurately how we are enjoying it.

It was rejected. I guess it did not paint a picture of NCdot weary and sad. Wouldn't want your readers to see an accurate view point from your enemies, would you? Anyways, good luck with your investment.

P.S. - No tinfoil bro, not even a shred, but keep spinning!

Ah yes. Your hilarious goon "jihad" crusades, suicide attack mockeries, and terror attack parodies were perpetrated so long ago by different goons and a different leadership... oh wait.

And let's not forget that time (long ago of course) when some dinosaur goon leader thought it hilarious to mock and instigate a suicidal player into committing suicide. Those ancient times are long gone now.

So yeah. Definitely a differnt goon today Roll.
