- dx034 10y agoMy instinct is that this is wrong. Probably rather hard to bribe the economist.
- garethsprice 10y agoTimely media coverage isn't necessarily the result of bribes. The survey was done in January and is now being published in April. A savvy PR agent doing crisis management would be combing Uber's research archives looking for things they could spin into positive press releases. The press is always hungry for content, and it's not too hard to write something that appeals to a particular publication - no bribes involved.
