During Monday's hearing, the judge said that Epic was "not forthright" and had made a "calculated decision" to defy Apple's App Store rules. "There are people in the public who consider you guys heroes for what you did, but it's not honest," she said.

I hope the upcoming public relations act by Epic Games is presented similarly to how this article was presented.  Stripping away the sensationalistic writing that presents Epic Games in a positive, heroic manner and Apple in a negative, villainous manner even when the majority of knowledgeable readers disagree with the presentations is something I think should continue.    

A Trump-appointed Federal judge decides to block the ban two days after https://appleinsider.com/articles/20/09/26/doj-opposes-tiktok-request-stall-download-ban-calls-bytedance-ceo-mouthpiece-for-ccp and five hours before the ban was scheduled to take effect is just another act in this sh*t show.

The most interesting parts of this hyperbolic coverage of Microsoft’s video game streaming efforts are:

1. iOS streaming APIs have been available for years and Microsoft chose not to use them and AppleInsider chose not to point out this truth to readers to stick with the industry wide Apple is bad theme. 

2. The coverage by AppleInsider and others will quickly cease after Microsoft’s streaming product becomes available on Apple’s App Store. 

3. Amazon’s Luna is a 100% cloud experience that works via Safari and shows that Amazon can do what Microsoft is incapable of doing or Microsoft chose not to do in an attempt to get a free ride on Apple’s iPhone. 

Though Scout FM focused on podcasts, I think Apple is looking at using Scout FM’s algorithms to power Apple Music 1’s push into terrestrial radio.
