Far be it from the Wall Street Journal to mention Boy Genius Report when reporting on the BlackBerry Thunder. The Rupert Murdoch-owned newspaper goes with the headline “BlackBerry With Touch Screen Planned,” citing sources “familiar with the matter.” Maybe they have their own sources, but there’s a good chance they just pulled the BGR post and spun it as their own reporting.
The Street pulls a laughable line: “A number of bloggers have been posting photos of what they think the new Blackberry Thunder might look like. The authenticity of those photos is another story. They look very manipulated.” Hello? Maybe that’s because it’s a mock up! BGR took care of that in the original post: “No, you morons, the image above is not real. Didn’t we go through this once before?”
