Patently Problematic
The Economist,
Sept 17, 2002
The Economist's take on the U.K. Commission on Intellectual Property Rights report. Rather than simply summarize the report, as ZD Net does (see below), the Economist feels it must place the discussion in a context - a context which makes it appear as though developing nations would actually oppose the report's conclusions (the fact that all the evidence says otherwise is apparently of no concern to the author). Presenting such a biased overview - up to and including the use of loaded phrases to descibe the recommendations (such as the suggestion that nations "sneak round technical barriers") - really ought to be beneath the Economist.
