Microsoft Tricked the Media Into Lying About Microsoft Layoffs in January. Now It Does the Same (in February).
Last month: No, Microsoft Did Not Deny the Q1 Mass Layoffs (Microsoft Can Delay These)
Microsoft has got the media by the wallet (or balls).
"No layoffs?" someone asked here. "Xbox has new leaders today, now that Phil Spencer and Sarah Bond are out — and you’d be forgiven for assuming that means yet another round of layoffs and shuttered studios, especially one day after Sony jettisoned a beloved developer."
This cites an article published minutes after Microsoft's announcement, face-saving PR coordinated in advance with The Verge.
What sort of media is this? what is its true purpose? Corporate coverup and advocacy of Ponzi schemes? █
