Summary: With lobbying firms and litigation firms rushing to legitimise an illegal and unconstitutional 'court' system (kangaroo tribunals) in Spain and elsewhere (fake "events" and "conferences" that maliciously spread lies), it's becoming clearer to see who's responsible for this sabotage and we even see disclosure in some media (regarding the payments, i.e. bribes); The EPO is being assassinated by special interest groups, to whom experienced patent examiners with professional integrity are just an unwanted obstruction (standing in the way of endless monopolies) and there's almost nobody in the media left to talk about it
Remember that even 15 years ago (more or less, maybe 16 years ago) Canonical appointed a a 'former' Microsoft manager (Spencer) to lead Ubuntu on the desktop
Maybe the media - at least some of it - actually deserves doom. If it covers up for the powerful to muzzle and gaslight the oppressed, then what sort of media is that anyway?
