San Jose Mercury News blasts Jobs

Despite the green light given to Steve Jobs and his executive team by an internal Apple investigation, the San Jose Mercury News seems intent on proving otherwise. Apple is giving Jobs a "Free Pass", claims one recent article which cites a Boston University management professor and a managing director of research at Glass Lewis. Another article points out that Steve Jobs helped pick several of the directors on Apple's board. We learn from yet another recent piece that the civil lawsuit has "turned up [the] heat" on Apple and yet another article offers a timeline of the scandal while another points the finger at Jobs for his role in backdating.

They say all news is local, perhaps this is just an expression of the Mercury News' local interest.
