Journalists don't exist to represent the interests of maverick billionaires. That's what PR firms are for. Tesla's was very successful for a long time. Now that's changing. This is a good and natural function of a working democracy.
- chrisco255 8y agoThis article isn't journalism...it's an opinion piece.
- rainonmoon 8y agoThis is a report by a recurring contributor to the publication which contextualises a news peg with other events relevant to the peg. Whatever your semantic disagreements with the contemporary tone of web-based reporting, this is textbook journalism.
- A2017U1 8y ago> this is textbook journalism The line between editorial and news has become so blurred I'm afraid you're right.
- chrisco255 8y agoNo, this is an opinion piece and its first paragraph literally begins with criticism of the company. It also uses the phrase "everyone was right all along". First of all, who is 'everyone' and since when has everyone agreed on anything? This is far from journalism...this is a thinly veiled opinion piece and a poorly written one at that.
