If Mike South stepped up and did some real reporting other than the typical Luke Ford muckraking hack job he seems comfortable with doing by just capitalizing on rumors and innuendos and insinuations then it would be another story.
For example... what if all the lay-offs at DP were the result of necessary fat trimming and clean up of inefficiencies and wasted expenses? That would not surprise me in the least. All the old school brick and mortar companies are/were guilty of it, including Homegrown.
What if Playboy not Manwin was responsible for the issues with Sirius? Speaking from experience, Playboy, even though they are wonderful in many respects, can be difficult to work with at times just because of their size and scope of what they do and how they want the brand represented.
Just because all Mike's little Manwin hating minions like to turn out in droves to try and beat the drums of revolt at any chance they can doesn't mean they actually have a valid reason for it. In fact, the very nature of a mob is the irrationality of the mentality.
I think if everyone knew both sides to the stories then they would take a very different tact. However, obviously it is easier to point a finger at "tubes" or whatever the excuse of the day is for not being successful than it is to actually figure out how to be successful given the resources and environment to do so.
