Not to belabour the issue, but it's everywhere so I'll take a quick turn. Here's the Grey Lady's (or is that a British paper's nickname?) take: Hollinger Files Stinging Report on Ex-Officials. What understatement!
Point 1: It's going to be hard getting out from under this one. No amount of highly articulate bluster and convoluted reasoning is going to overcome this indictment -- unless it's utterly untrue malice as Ravelston suggests in its response.
Point 2: Hubris is as old as Western Civilization. And, obviously, as a parade of CEOs being similarly "persecuted" attests, it doesn't wear well with the prevailing schadenfreude zeitgeist viz. corporate executives.
What's needed in the next 10 or 20 years -- probably sooner given our attention span -- is a latter day Orson Wells to take up the story for "the moving pictures." Citizen Black . . .
