    I suggest we name them after the executives rather than the corporations.

      I think we keep the company names to make it more digestible for the not terminally online. And use executive names as the sub titles.

        Yeah, like this… “Our top story tonight, the Chevron/Mike Wirth heatwave, was responsible for 10 more deaths yesterday."

        How do we get this started? If we can erroneously associate a VP candidate with intimate furniture acts, then this must be possible.
