wonder what it feels like to be @Spotify CEO this weekend knowing if a few more high-profile artists defect this weekend yr stock is going to absolutely crater Monday morning
btw, start of the year Spotify trading at $244. it’s now priced at $172
ie Spotify was already facing lots of problems before Neil Young story blew up
panicked statement released by Spotify CEO answers my question

“The same media that remains in inflation hyperventilation mode, just cannot work up the energy to consistently inform news consumers about the surging economy under President Joe Biden.”
“So attached to the idea of using economic news to bash Biden, the press doesn’t know what to do when the data demolish the media’s preferred storyline.”
1. Conservatives are volunteering to get sick and die. Period.
2. Liberals are not trying to close schools
3. Biden cannot stop a global, mutating virus
“Nervous about offending Republicans and Fox News by depicting anti-science conservatives as flat-earth deniers who would rather risk the welfare of themselves and families than get a vaccine (developed under Trump!), the press tiptoes around the obvious insanity.”
astounding what that company has done to its corporate imagine by refusing to stand up, ever, to the torrent of Rogan lies during a public health crisis
2. Not only are the media sessions too small and too infrequent, they’re also set up all wrong. Focus groups are designed to record extended reactions that a small group of participants have when they experience something together.
3. Focus groups are meant to gauge the response to a specific stimulus.
Gathering moderate and swing voters and have them watch Biden’s upcoming State of Union speech and then recording their impressions would be a helpful way to use focus groups in the political arena
“The poorly thought out focus group featured on Sunday’s “Face the Nation” included a grand total of six people who were identified as three Biden voters and three Trump voters. But all of them sounded like Trump voters.”
“In CBS’s aired focus group, not one person uttered a word of support for the president, who in the latest Fox News poll has a 47 percent approval rating.”
**this** is the conversation the country and media need to be having
not the, 'gee why does Murdoch allow misinformation on his network?'
“The U.S. has become a global leader in pandemic lies, and that’s because of Murdoch, who rushed to get vaccinated one year ago. All that while the network churns out lies about the pandemic and it couldn’t care less that nearly one million Americans have died”
