The "yet another mortal security flaw in Cisco..." stories never seem to end.

Daydream: Journalists start ending such articles with "This is the Nth critical security flaw for Cisco in just the past year. Network security professionals we spoke to agree that network equipment vendors X, Y, and Z all have far better track records than Cisco."

The last paragraph of the article doesn't serve that purpose?

1/4 of "yes", for this particular article. The regular "brands X, Y and Z are better" part would get more traction in the C-suites. And hopefully on Wall Street.

Speaking (unofficially) as someone who works at one of the "other brands" that reeks of journalists having a bias.

		If a magazine for parents of severe-peanut-allergy children ended every "may contain undisclosed peanut" recall article with a "Here's our current top 3 brands for child peanut safety: ...", would anyone refer to that as reeking of journalistic bias? How 'bout if Consumer Reports published a "We Tested 17 kitchen garbage disposals" article, and their 1-paragraph summary of the worst-rated model said "buy one of our 3 top-rated models instead"? (Yes, I know you're giving a "proper" response. And that very few journalists might say "buy X, Y, or Z instead" about a 900 lbs. gorilla like Cisco. Recall my "Daydream" disclaimer.)
