Today, Jobs explained why he lost so much weight over 2008 — he apparently has a hormone imbalance, and is being treated for it.

Gizmodo took this as some kind of victory:

But we were right on something almost as important: The reason why Steve Jobs is not doing the Macworld 2009 keynote is his health. Apple PR muscle tried to mislead the public again saying that the reason was the irrelevance of Macworld. They said they didn’t want to give importance to a show that Apple was pulling from.

Gizmodo’s evidence is Jobs’s first paragraph, where he states:

For the first time in a decade, I’m getting to spend the holiday season with my family, rather than intensely preparing for a Macworld keynote.

The problem is, though, that this isn’t evidence of Gizmodo’s claim — that Jobs will not deliver the keynote due to his health. At all. In any way.

Gizmodo decided to publish a stupid report last week, and is now flailing to justify it in any way they can. Terrible journalism.
