●● Microsoft Boosters Entered as ‘Reporters’ to Cases About Linux Patent Tax

Summary: Bill Gates-funded press and Microsoft boosters get a coverage leverage in important Android cases

Recently, Microsoft lobbyist Florian Müller was distorting facts by entering Android cases. He had been paid by Android-hostile companies. They get an unfair advantage in this way.

There is an attempt to paint Google or Motorola as the patent villain and trolls like MPEG-LA are dissociated from their funders to dodge blame. According to a very detailed analysis at Groklaw:

We had two reporters in the courtroom today for day two of the FRAND trial in Judge James L. Robart’s courtroom in the US District Court in Seattle between Microsoft and Motorola.

Guess who was there. Bishop was also there. Expect biased reporting, except from Groklaw. Other coverage comes from Bill Gates-funded papers [1, 2]. █
