Can you first clarify what point you're trying to make in the context of these news agencies staying or going?

Edit: the equivocation about people not being cynical always in their roles in a corporation (a very trite claim to begin with) is extra funny in the context of the literal laws that bind employees of corporations to do exactly what we all already know they are bound to do:

> They must discharge their actions in good faith and in the best interest of the corporation, exercising the care an ordinary person would use under similar circumstances.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duty_of_care_(business_associa...

You can be quite literally sued into oblivion for not being cynical in your roles and responsibilities as an employee of a C corp.



Well I don’t live in the US, maybe there are only cynical people there. Somehow I doubt that though.

Also remember that “best interests of the corporation” doesn’t necessarily mean get money now and lose reputation for a long time. Some people might interpret it that way, others not. It is all context dependent and there is no guarantee people would be convinced for taking the long view if they can provide justification.


My guy you're moving the goal posts so far back you're about to fall off the end of the earth


Ok guy.
