But it wasn't publicly. That's why I said that everyone needs some privacy and it certainly is also an aspect why the notion of "off the record" exists.

And while I wouldn't call it "dictator shit" since a CEO is not a government official with direct power over his targets, it would certainly be a smear campaign which I wouldn't condone.

I'm operating on the assumption that people say many things that they do not intend to follow up with deeds, especially when they think they are not talking publicly.

Private expression is fine in your own home. When you spout off about attacking journalists, in front of journalists, you are asking for it.

Plus, as mentioned earlier, this was not an off-the-record conversation.
