3 pieces of "information" have been released:

The board fired him primarily for not being honest with them and other things
The signed letter mentioned most employees were upset about his departure and some are willing to follow him
The signed employee letter mentioned the board being scared and limiting how fast to develop due to security was one of the points of contention.

From that information, you have decided that ALL media outlets reports of #3 were falsified by all news outlets, but #1 and #2 are solid.

I'm calling on Occams Razor and saying #3 was damage control from the board rather than all the media outlets faking it.

I'm saying you're "fan boying" because you're giving undue credit to the companies action pushing it over on the media, when the paper signed by 700 employees says the board was incompetent and spreading the information about being scared themselves.
