Ashton Kutcher is a walking conflict of interest. He invests his acting fortune into startups like Uber and then promotes those companies without disclosing his financial ties. Now that Uber's culture of sleaze is making headlines across the country, Ashton's back out there defending Uber's exposed plans to discredit reporters who dare criticize Uber.
My Two Cents
Ashton Kutcher waded into the Uber discussion today - he said on Twitter, "What is so wrong about digging up dirt on shady journalist [sic]." Kutcher is wrong on so many levels! First, how do we now define "a shady journalist?"
When is it "dirt" and "NOT dirt?" When does a Journalist become part of the story as a "Public Figure?" But all of this really points back to - why and how does Uber think it's appropriate to start "OPPO (or Opposition) Research on journalists that don't write nice things about them? Just a nasty bunch of exec's spinning webs at Uber.
