How do you think journalism works? They just make sources up and then suddenly the CEO resigns without a fight?

I don't know. Personally I find it hard to simply trust "my sources said", I usually require a little bit of hard evidence to be convinced. There could be many reasons someone gave up fighting.

Again, coming from a different society where media is full of lies, I am wondering if your journalists are really that much better.

He's obviously had affairs incl with employees etc. so the resignation would have to come either way. But there's such a thing as selective leaking to the press, for example initially claiming she's a spy and now after he's gone, wait maybe she's not a spy.

Ummm, this story is about him sleeping with a second employee. Nothing has changed with the fact that he had an affair with a Chinese spy.

There's plenty he's done to end up where he is now, the relationships with employees who reported to him being enough to fire him on their own, so no need to insist on the spy story without solid proof, except if being Chinese somehow means you're a spy by definition. 1 - https://edition.cnn.com/2026/11/12/politics/alice-huang-us-i...
