    It reads like it was written at gunpoint.

    There's no need to make CEOs safe if there are no CEOs think-about-it

    It would also result in huge cost savings, so really it's a win-win scenario

    Unless it's something increibly long form, a genuine investigative piece, this nearly always means that variations (or sometimes the exact same) mostly pre-written 'pitch' was delivered to the email inbox of multiple client 'journalists'. But they all want the byline for the credibility for more bootlicking press releases continued access and editorial staff can't say only one or two people get the credit because they all got the same email.

    "There's a crisis of legitimacy within the press! People hate us and call us fake! What can we do?!?"

    "We got this:

    First, spend 4 years lying saying Biden is mentally competent no matter what.

    Second, lie endlessly on behalf of Israel pretending they have never done anything wrong at all and actually it's Hamas bombing the Gaza strip into rubble.

    Third, remember to never allow for one half of a second accurate sentiments towards politicians and CEOs to be broadcast. "Everyone is horrified by this murder!!!" Just keep repeating it."
