People with expert knowledge in any field will frequently notice "wow, the media does a terrible job of understanding and explaining my field." Too few take the next logical step: the media does a terrible job of understanding and explaining almost everything. You simply notice the problem more in areas where you know more.

The media has gone from explaining stories to just sharing them. It's like a journalistic chain letter from hell.
Hey! Did you see politician X's gaffe?

#24I kept the title honest but I submitted it specifically because the article says, "But it may also wreak havoc on CIOs’ networks and connectivity budgets — better quality displays require more network bandwidth, which allows users to increase data consumption." How can the WSJ report such nonsense? Bigger displays do not increase bandwidth usage as far as I know.
There are sites that provide different images for different resolution devices. Bandwidth used when accessing those sites may in fact go way up when accessing from the Retina MBP compared to when accessing from a "normal" laptop.

#25>CORRECTION: An earlier version of this article incorrectly suggested that the higher resolution Retina displays of the new iPad and forthcoming Macbook Pro computers would increase consumption of network bandwidth, thus slowing performance of corporate networks. Higher resolution screens do not in and of themselves consume more network bandwidth. Some analysts have suggested that owners of devices with high-resolution screens will likely consume more video and HD video, which would result in higher bandwidth consumption. This article has been modified to reflect this change.
Still a stretch in my opinion.
