Wha??? It would seem people would be a bit concerned that Disney almost got away with the cover up but no, the focus is on the big corporation being taken advantage of. Do you also feel sorry for the 'too big to fail' banks too?
That's an apples to oranges argument right there.
Lets be honest, do you think any company would want this kind of press? If this were your company, wouldn't you do everything you could to properly handle the situation WITHOUT involving the media.
The connotation associated with a "cover up" has a hint of deception tied to it. I don't think there was an attempt at deception, situations happen like this all over the world in companies big and small. We rarely, if ever hear about them. I don't think it's because they are trying to deceive the public, but because they want to handle the situation and get as far away from it as possible.
