Why don't you go and cry about it for a while, that'll make you feel better.
Honestly though, who even bothers to read the news articles?
I personally tend to select a character before it even loads.. seeing as how it takes forever to actually display anything.
Moreover they're not really known for their 'great articles' anyway.
Not to banter them or anything, I just don't see the relevance of the service.
Eve online spaceships has many viewpoints and perspectives, and regardless of what they post there will always be uptight geeks with nothing better to do than proof-read and cross-reference every single word and sentence in every single post ever made by anyone regarding EVE Online and putting all their findings and opinions (that nobody really cares about mind you) in long-winded useless posts that nobody likes... much like this one I am typing up right now in fact.
Seriously though, I too think destroying a Myrmidon is big news.
In fact, I don't think I'll be able to sleep at all tonight.

great wars aren't newsworthy anymore, after all they're practically a dime a dozen anyway.
I love seeing ships explode and knowing that someone somewhere is screaming at their computer |

You too can submit news leads.
Do it, CAOD needs a good dramabomb over CCP impartiality.

the fights in the north aren't newsworthy since they're unable to get a quote from anyone involved that doesn't mention how terrible the lag is.

I actually asked ISD about this.
The problem is that both sides have a sufficiently huge kitchen sink put together that ISD cannot find a single correspondent to write the stories who is permitted to write stories about the war due to their internal rules about personal bias.
I have to view that more as our fault than ISD's, tbh.

So none of the IC ISDs are high-sec dwelling? if so then WOW. They need to transfer one or two from whatever division it is that sits in the help channel, I'm sure they are all care-bears(not in the NC sense of the word).

The rest of their response basically boiled down to "we're working on it".
So I would guess they are trying to educate hisec ISDs enough to write about the war without any more Goonswarm-style snow jobs.

Not gonna lie, I laughed. Mostly because this probably includes most devs as well.
Maybe they should do a point/counterpoint editorial style article with absolute minimum input from the ISD. I hear Molle and Vuk both love to roleplay.

Sir, I must admit that when I was younger, I lost my pet gerbil to a garbage compactor incident. Upon then I vowed to take vengeance upon those who saw my gerbils untimely demise. May I be your sidekick? I shall garnish the name Rubishboy.

It is entirely possible for us players to submit leads for in game news.
It can be done here - http://www.eveonline.com/news.asp?a=submitrp
Submitting an item is no guarantee of publication. Your piece/idea/lead has to appeal to whomever is editing. The in game news section seems out of touch - or is it the other way around?
Perhaps none of the warring parties have the time or they lack the linguistic capability. Perhaps the in game news editor deemed the submissions of poor quality news wise. A more likely explanation is that the editor thought to himself;
>>they are all biased pieces of superfluous, self-serving excrement.<<

Lol wutt??? The ISD stories have always been biased. There has never ever been a single isd news item that wasn't favored either towards the nc or sc or well even before the kitchen sink coalition was formed.

An article favouring a specific space entity does not necessarily mean it is a bad article.
The issue lies with how the correspondent forms his/her opinion on the event/movement/whatever the article is about.
A proper correspondent would look at the facts objectively, and in case of a big fight/war compare victories, assets destroyed, tactical points taken/destroyed etc, and form an opinion on how it is going from that.
Even if that happens and the correspondent is able to make a proper article on just the facts, after posting you will still get people from both sides with different opinions on how 'important' above mentioned assets/vicotires/fights/tactical points are, which is why people cry BIASED all the time.
This does not necessarily mean the correspondent is 'biased', simply the readers.
It is natural and expectable when trying to report wars.
Do you think the 3rd reich would respond well to press releases about allied advancement (say around halfway through the war)? Do you think they'd agree with the author's opinion/conclusion that the allies will probably win? regardless of wether the author was a german or an american/englishman/russian?
You see my point?
disclaimer: I am in no way comparing the allied invasion of the 3rd reich with the current EVE Online SC vs NC war, THAT was NOT my point.

That is pretty unlikely. You can read reports of huge 0.0 conflicts from ISD.
I guess that at the moment just nothing much important happened.
Besides, if people think that something is important -> sumbit news button. |

With all due respect to claire xx and the lost myrmidon, is it really newsworthy? LOL...must have been an exceedingly slow newsday!
Such things happen all over EVE every day. I can't even begin to count the number I times I've had to deal diplomatically with this sort of incident. I suspect there will be far more noteworthy incidents in the future. 
As for bias in ISD reports, that's not all that newsworthy, either. It pretty goes together like peanut butter and jelly and some people like it while others don't.
