Dont forget the US media incessant coverage of a private company’s business matter of firing someone as if it was an unheard of calamity.

Pretty incredible that employees will go to bat for a lying scum bag when they would never do that for each other.

A CEO getting fired, not by the for-profit company's Board, but by a board with a public mission, right after said company released a groundbreaking product that captured the popular imagination and then turned that into a multibillion dollar deal with Microsoft (which in turn parlayed into trillions of dollars of wealth across the economy), is absolutely news.
