The Premise Dictates the Facts

About that Bloomberg report of ‘falling iPad mini demand’ – Apple 2.0 -Fortune Tech: “But Bloomberg’s Tim Culpan came away from Wednesday’s conference with a different story, one with an anti-Apple slant that got widely picked up… Focusing on the fact that after growing 162% year over year in Q1 Pegatron’s revenues from consumer electronics were expected to fall 25% to 30% in Q2, he set out to pin the blame on the iPad mini.”

(via Fortune.)

Ok. So we no longer need to suspect that there’s a concerted effort out there to spin news negatively toward Apple to support the ready-made premise that Apple is failing. Thanks to Phillip Elmer-DeWitt, we now have clear proof.

You’re supposed to let the facts dictate your conclusions, folks. Not the other way around.
