I'll never understand what makes people take the focus-grouped, carefully worded speeches and statements of CEOs and politicians at face value, and then label those CEOs/politicians "good people" or "nice guys" based on that. It's obvious that critical thinking skills are severely lacking across most of society.

It's the equivalent of believing a company is "run by comedians" because their marketing team injected some dull humor into an ad that played on TV, or believing an oil company is "environmentally friendly" because they published a picture of someone wearing their logo planting a tree.
