Ahh, here’s where I’ve definitely not been clear enough then. I’m not trying to imply they should do nothing if they won’t try and pass the bar I’m setting… and managing this information officially themselves… I’m lamenting the fact they aren’t trying to live up to the bar that used to be considered normal for official communication from a company, that the official communication will be available once they are done speaking… and hilariously enough I just realised what this is, we went from the modern YouTube era where companies wanted to be in more control of the content they posted and would this run the PR event then published the “official take” to a corporate controlled channel and hold copyright and all the power it gives them… back to the pre-YouTube era of the press conference where reporters brought their own voice recorders and shotgun mics and all hustled for optimal position, recorded their own copy of what the people speaking said, and then all either wrote it up themselves or passed it back to the news desk to have a writer do the article writing… and it feels very stupid to step back like this when all the bullshit can be replaced by a shell script the company runs.
