Returning to this thread to point out the large number of pieces that
suddenly appeared in major news outlets describing his genius, his
big-picture thinking, (etc) and referencing how hard it was in WashDC
for him, etc.

None is worth even reading. Obvious paid, puff-pieces placed by his PR
firm to recast him as a misunderstood tech genius, and get Americans to
forget the rest of it.

Screw American media for being so easily bought.  Once you know how to
spot the paid pieces, you see them everywhere. No wonder no one trusts
the mainstream press anymore, they sold out and no longer deserve the
trust.
