Zune surge? Don’t believe the hype

First an AP story then a Yahoo follow-up and a Slashdot reprint of the results have a small echo chamber screaming that the Zune is beating up on the iPod this season. If you take a closer look at the Slashdot comment section through, it seems reasonable to figure that the books were cooked against Apple, giving Microsoft and Zune the advantage. And so you see the dangers of a misguiding story being repeated, believed and then pointed to all over the place (i.e. Iraq war justifications).
