My feeling is that there is a coordinated media attack against major US tech companies.

  The thing about massive conspiracies is that it only takes a single participant to leak their existence. And for a conspiracy like what you're suggesting, there would be tens of thousands of participants. It's time to let reality back in and accept that there is no media conspiracy. The big tech companies overreached and now the roosters are coming home to roost after 2 decades of largely unearned fawning media coverage.

    It could also be that the US tech companies are just really good whipping boys or they subscribe to any publicity is good publicity.

  And how do you explain the past couple of years of uncritial, overly positive media coverage these companies have received? The media coverage that has created a rabid fanbase that surrounds these tech-personalities, making it near impossible to discuss the reality of the tech and finances of these companies? Having to face consequences for your actions isn't a conspiracy. People reporting on these realities is not a conspiracy. It's long, long over due.

  > My feeling is that there is a coordinated media attack against major US tech companies. Or the media has stopped looking at them through the rose-colored glasses of tech-optimism, and started seeing them as what they are: massive, powerful corporations that are capable of harm and dishonesty in addition to innovation.
