Alright, so the search engine told me that "ESG" is a set of criteria to rate sustainability of corporations/investments, where E stands for environment (ressource efficiency/non-pollution, ...), S for social (worker safety, non-discrimination, ...) and G for governance (risk management, compliance, anti-corruption). Please correct misconceptions.

You are suggesting that government pays writers to show those kinds of sustainability in a overly positive way?

How would western media look if it wasn't a trojan horse? Would it show slavery, environmental pollution and feudalism in a much more positive light? How can you be sure that the mismatch here is from goverment/corporate influence on writers, and not simply a difference in ethical values between the average writer and you?

Its not just these three goals. Like the Patriot Act names rarely tell the full story.

>not simply a difference in ethical values between the average writer and you?

Because they only done this since its socially and commercially profitable?

You still did not tell me what those trojan horse writers are doing except that it is outside of the definition of "ESG score" that I provided.

What has become socially and commercially profitable?

Read a recent comic or do more than superficial googling or Wikipedia. If you can't tell then nothing I will say will help.

The Boys does this, but ironically - but a lot of people apparently miss the point of it being ironic / a pisstake.
