Done a couple of press events over the last two days and am a bit concerned, much of the press just seems so servile.
Yesterday I was at an Intel launch, and the press applauded the spokesman as he took the stage. FFS people, we're supposed to be cynical hacks, not a cheerleader for the people who are paid to tell us their side of the story.
Today's breakfast meeting was a little better. Some hard questions asked and answered. But this does not bode well.

Yeah, that startled me too when I experienced the US tech press doing it - many of them really do look up to MS and Intel. (Blimey, it's just struck me that was around a decade ago...)
Thankfully there's also a few who are almost as cynical as us. (-:
