The media needs to stop reporting on CEO proclamations, which long ago became glorified PR+marketing, not truth or fact. These are the individuals most incentivized to lie; and when they do nobody holds them to account.

    No, they do need to report on it but they should be asking critical questions rather than copy-pasting the PR spin verbatim. They should demand these CEOs quantify their predictions. They won't though, because they can't.

    I recall them talking about how CEOs have a fiduciary duty to increase the stock price. Shouldn't that apply to them being required to tell the fucking truth?
