Over at the newsletter I wrote about the unholy scourge that is "CEO said a thing!" journalism:

karlbode.com"CEO Said A Thing!" Journalism"CEO said a thing!" journalism involves parroting the claims of a business leader or executive with absolutely no context, correction, or challenge whatsoever, no matter how elaborate the delusion.

In tech it started in the 90s, but in the time of 'the inspiring' Steve Jobs and 'the serious' Bill Gates it was (a bit*) more supportable to see uncritical reports of their discourses. The current generation has the merit to show how bad this kind of journalism is applied to uninspiring liars.

* I mean cultish reports of everything Jobs could say were tiring too, but he was usually just exagerating a bit the importance of real products, not announcing random things every couple weeks to seduce investors with no plan to do them.
