This is why I actually like the new CEO's response, especially since he's on the "good ol' boy network". Let's rope in a third party that's impartial. I'm glad he's not just going the "we investigated ourselves and didn't find ourselves at fault" route. Let's hope the report does come out and does make sense for the situation. But there is always the risk of the third party not finding anything because LMG is paying them. I hope whoever they use has a good track record and the reports that come are clear (and most importantly that actual actions are taken to right the wrongs found/identified). That's the problem with implementing stuff reactionarily, you never really know. But considering the CEO stepped in... what? 7 weeks ago? This is a really good step for him. There might be hope for LMG... but only if Linus stops with the petty shit and stops driving everything into the ground.
If it takes an extra 500$ to test something properly... he should do it. He should know this innately because he's spend hundreds of thousands on "The Labs", but this mentality still shows when he talks candidly on WAN show and other spots. Makes it hard to believe him and his responses contradicting Madison's story when we see this type of mentality elsewhere.
I agree, but it's the best, most transparent answer we've gotten so far out of all of this. And I think it's worth validating the choice that the new guy made. It's the one glimmer of hope that the company will move forward positively...
