The comically terrible corporate news business has quite the shiny object to attract attention with this impossibly stupid story of hubris and excess, doesn’t it?
Why anyone cares about it is beyond my comprehension. There are millions of more important truths to report and many people going through far worse. But I guess uncovering those stories costs money the news business would rather not spend. Hard to think of too many types of enterprises less interested in the quality of their product.
Breathlessly reporting on this silliness as if the empty soul of News Business Inc. actually gives AF about the people involved insults well developed intelligence. But that isn’t nearly as bad as trying to profit off the misery of the poor bastards involved and their families by trying to monetize the emotions of those manipulated into caring about it.
