I don't seem to recall coming to a similar conclusion regarding any other company that I follow.
Could it be that the standards of journalism are not what they should be or what they once were? Certainly. Could it be that BlackBerry is not the only victim of such a situation? Quite possibly as I do not believe in conspiracy theories. Could it be that BlackBerry has put itself in a situation where it is easy to bully it around? Indeed it has and it has to bear some of the responsibility for this.
What I do hope, however, is that under the new management, BlackBerry will reestablish itself from a business point of view, clean up its act, start producing results and adopt a proactive apoproach in the media to restore its image. John Chen is no fool. I do believe all of this will come, in due time. Well... since we have been let down before, I hope it does!
And a good day to all!
