Yeah but we all know this is not what happens. It's mostly not "reporting" to start with, or some of it is, but it comes tainted with opinion in some cases, or outright here's-what-you-should-think-of-this packaging from so called "pundits".
And of course there's no accountability if one of these happens to actually make a prediction that can be proven wrong. Bitcoin mining was going to consume all the world's energy by 2020, remember?
