Headline Bait

Heavy emphasis on negative characterization — "dealt blow," "obsolete," "disappointing," "swing and a miss" — presented as objective assessment rather than subjective analyst opinions. Selective emphasis on losses over past year ("nearly 60%") without explaining broader market context. Includes CEO's rebuttal but buries it after piling on negative framing. Quote selection amplifies pessimism.
