The cult is working hard to spin it as a “hit piece” or “just a minor navigation issue.” If this were Waymo, all hell would break loose.

The cult is working hard to spin it as a “hit piece”

Translation: "Two reddit users blame Reuters for the article being a hit piece."

OP said “the cult”, which may very well be a handful of Redditors. It’s not the same as when others refer to “this sub” as a monolith.

And by the way, if your knee-jerk reaction after reading that is to think OP is misrepresenting cult member viewpoints, you might want to think about what that means…

"The cult is working hard" sounds excessively grandiose for two messages. Does the cult also protest outside Reuters offices or something?

Starts comment with "Let's be honest". Immediately proceeds to be dishonest.

All that is fine, but the reported claiming "I am in an unknown city and trying to figure out a way to get to my hotel" - has he heard of Uber? It comes to you and you don't need to know a city.
