A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I see some angry person. The good type of angry — directing his anger at the right things.
To be clear: Bode is not criticising the fact that journalists quote what CEOs say. He's criticising the fact they do it and call it a day, as if saying "trust the CEO".
It goes without saying that CEOs are really loud when saying what they want the sucker (you) to believe. So if that's all you want, you need no journalist. A journalist is only useful if you want to know the factual reality; but for that they need to contextualise and challenge the claims, not just parrot them.
If it's any consolation it isn't just the United-Statian media.
