Far too much censorship. Why do you guys care so much about how the players view CFC and friends? Just run a fair and balanced site like you promised.

I'll check back in a month and see if themittani.com is worthy of me as a reader.


Funny, I can see the moderation logs and there have been no such comments deleted ;p

You can't lose what hasn't been a reader in the first place (or, I'm sure he's reading every article, looking into every nook and cranny just to find something to troll with; he's marlona sky, after all).

I read the article on Vile Rat by the mittani and posted a comment on the subject. Other than that, I have not been there since. I just read and listen to the feedback of other people who go there. Some good, some bad. The website name sets the ton that everything will be slanted. Which, sounds like that is what is happening. I don't care for the name, it is a double edged sword. So between that and you guys banning IP's and removing comments from people who do not agree with is simply bad.

I do find it funny that eve news 24 scooped you guys on the h-w fight.... for how long? They had a story up on it fast. I heard you all took like a day or two to report it and even then it was so vague that no one could make heads or tails of it. Some philosophical stuff on if a tree falls in the woods when no one around or something like that.

Change the name of the site to something more neutral and do more unbias reporting and stop treating it like an extension of your alliance with an agenda. Then, then I will go there as one of my news sources. And no, I don't think eve news 24 is the greatest news website, not even close.

But hey, who am I to offer up advice on what will make me read from your website. I'm just a grunt in the grand scheme of things. Just another player. What exactly is your target audience anyways?

I realize that you want it to be more like evenews24 where we only report our losses, even painting "15 man roaming gang dies somewhere in Vale" as a massive morale victory for ~dot brosdot~ and ~dekco~failcascade incoming~ and all that bullshit because we somehow need to extend our readership to the coveted hisec miner demographic

Considering that you admit to have only ever read one or two articles on the entire site, you're not qualified to say how ~biased~ the site is.

Speaking of biased. Roll


Fox went to court to fight for their right to tell lies and won. The BBC has it written into their constiution that they may never knowingly tell lies.

I tend to enjoy high sec as a casual player and I am content with that. What I really enjoy is reading about all the battles and dram of null space. So when themittani.com came out advertising fair and balanced news reporting, I was relieved. Finally a news site that would deliver everything I was looking for. And it did, or so I thought...

Now I agree that outlandish and vulgar comments should be removed, but that is not what is happening. Comments providing correct facts and important information in regards to the article are be deleted. Even some IP bans or whatever it may be to not allow specific people to comment on.

Why are they doing this? Any journalist reporting on events has a responsibility to provide the most accurate and unbias reporting they can. So why is themittani.com deleting comments that include facts and even comments that slant towards enemies of the CFC and friends?

I am begging the editor of themittani.com to put a stop to this. You have a good thing going, don't blow it. Even if you don't agree with someone's opinion or facts you wish did not exist, don't try and change the truth. If anyone running that site has any integrity, you will stick to the facts and not slant it.

Thank you.
