I'm not sure a lot of companies know their story, or can explain why they exist and who they are, without just spewing just corporate speech.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Companies often become victims of their own mythologies.
But I know newspapers. They have the first amendment and they can tell any lie knowing it's a lie and they're protected if the person's famous or it's a company.
I don't think we should view corporations as people for the purposes of speech.
Corporations are a fictional entity that are designed to make money, and they're neither people nor patriots.
Virtually every magazine, newspaper, TV station and cable channel is owned by a big corporation, and they've squashed stories that they don't want the public to know about.
The corporation is one of the great unheralded human inventions of destruction. It is a way to absolve from any personal liability a bunch of people. They form together in a massive ID and they do whatever they want.
So often corporate America, business America, are the worst communicators, because all they understand are facts, and they cannot tell a story. They know how to explain their quarterly results, but they don't know how to explain what they mean.
All the biggest companies are based on a founder who had a need, hacked it together, and said, 'Hey, other people might want this.'
Talking about corporations - they're so big. There's not a person at a corporation.
Unlike people, companies outlive their founders and their leaders.
