This is confusing: Constellation owns rights to the brands in the United States and A-B InBev owns them outside the United States. But this story is centered around Americans
I deleted this earlier to make certain I had it right. Lots of misreporting and misunderstanding around who owns what and who represents whom
5WPR, which put out the press release that was turned into this great big story about how dumb Americans are, lists A-B as a client on their site:

Constellation is who owns Corona distribution rights domestically and they seem to have been having a pretty good couple of years (from March 2019)

Hahaha! I was wondering why this guy's name seemed so familiar (the guy quoted in every single one of these stories on that 38 percent figure.)
This is him, from 2018: politico.com/magazine/story…

I sure wish my colleagues had delved a bit into this shady ass "38 percent" number and his long history of this kind of shit before running with the "Americans are soooooo dumb" line based on a poll of less than 800 people with no access to the questions asked
"Trump’s longest-serving political adviser, the dirty trickster Roger Stone, has done work with Torossian, too, and once delivered a speech at 5W’s offices. And before he was Stone’s protege, future Trump political adviser Sam Nunberg, while on the payroll of Jay Sekulow’s
American Center for Law & Justice, regularly worked out of 5W’s offices in 2009 and 2010." lmao
Yay! We got a mention! chicagotribune.com/dining/drink/c…
