Is it really hard to figure out that the owner of a company, who personally stands to make 100s of billions, would be doing marketing when talking about said company? Do they not teach critical thinking anymore in schools, did it go away with phonics too? Why would you ever ignore the MASSIVE conflict of interest here, it's just really foolish but it's endemic not just in tech journalism or journalism in general where people just take the words of others and not apply any critical analysis to them.

It's all access journalism now, waste of time.

People that are good liars are good at it because they are lying to themselves at the same time. Even if they can initially compartmentalize I believe after a while it gets them too.
