Presumably the press can also say “the last five years of their projections turned out to be bullshit”?
@wthr-mike.bsky.socialRight! There's just not a whole lot the press can do but repeat what they are told and say "but remember, this is a projection." We don't have access to any financials (normally) to even put the projections in context beyond "this is a very big number, here are similar big numbers"
