This makes me angry, so can anyone think of a legitimate steelman of their position?

Expect my view is consistent with reality, though: they’re chasing profits and getting away with it, so why go on the record and look bad if they can ignore & spend that time on marketing.

ASUS doesn’t want to deal with the social media horde, who can and will cherry pick words and take things out of context.

If a person comes to talk business with a camera attached to his head, I know he does not come in good faith.

It's a journalist coming, because you said you want to talk to the journalist, because of the bad press you had before, because you fucked up.

Seems fair to take a camera.
