Law firm hired by Cruise says Cruise didn't mislead regulators, they just had trouble using the internet. Verge proceeds to repeat the claim uncritically (www.theverge.com)

Actual framing:

Cruise wasn’t hiding the pedestrian-dragging video from regulators — it just had bad internet / An independent review of an incident in which a driverless Cruise vehicle dragged a pedestrian over 20 feet concludes the company has connectivity issues.

My expectations for journalists are low but goddamn

Ah yes, i thought you were commenting on the verge repeating the claim. When I think about Arthur Andersen’s involvement in the collapses of enron & worldcom I do vaguely remember it came out that they had a hilarious dress code but I guess didn’t have any rules against rampant corruption.

Ah bikeshedding, dresscodes are easy, preventing corruption is hard, so lot more attention will be paid to dresscodes.
