- bgentry 2y agoIt is literally false in this case, yes. The corporation has no control over WaPo, even though the same individual has some control over both.
- some_furry 2y agoThis is a practically useless distinction.
- Freedom2 2y agoBut a pedantically, technically accurate one, just on brand for this site!
- wizzwizz4 2y agoThe distinction is not wholly useless, since it provides a frame whereby we can interpret this as evidence that the corporate veil is fictive, and that the "evil corporation" problem is actually caused by evil individuals. My instinct is that Evil Man theory is as simplistic (and wrong) as Great Man theory: there's probably some better explanation that this also provides evidence for, that I'm missing.
