Its called SEO.
If you know something bad has happened, you want to word your public statements in such a way that you beat out the bad news to the top search of Google at least, to minimize the attention given to that issue.

The #1 goal is to do it in such a way that confuses and befuddles those not-in-the-know (Oh, its just the CEO being quirky... they'll brush it off). But of course, you still want to accomplish the goal and make a news-statement with the largest amount of reach such that you beat the "real news" event on the top search of Google/Facebook/other social media.
It often sounds like gobbytygook, because it is. You're just word-vomiting into the wild trying to shove search terms to the top of Google / other search engines... but in a way that no one realizes why those words are related.
