Main stream media hyperbola

Recommended Posts

Main stream media hyperbola is where the MSM gushes over some piece of "news" or statement and presents it as "fact".  I particularly laugh when I read how such and such was the reason for a rise or fall in markets, as if it is ever that simple.  As any of you who have read Kahneman - Thinking, fast and slow - will know the human mind works by creating causal relationships from experience and, in particular, from close proximity.  In other words something happened because something else happened just before that.  This is very often incorrect.

 

This one I particularly loved and had a good LOL moment from it.  Sky Sports reports that the value of Man Utd has dropped £412 mil since the start of the season because of...  "poor performance on the pitch".

 

I won't insult you intelligence by showing how this is crass nonsense.

 

But serious point, when MSM goes into overdrive on a topic that seems like it is becoming received wisdom prepare for a reversal.  Why?  MSM only come to conclusions like this long after the real event takes place and usually near the end of the resulting market moves.

    • Massive support for Peanut as the meme finally breaks $1 and approaching $2. Trump is finally the highest holder of this meme which was listed at 0.12 on Bitget just last week. I posted about the token and made few analysis of this  current trend . Even when the current resistance at $1.8 looks very strong since it got reject twice now but if it finally breaks it then $2 could be on the card guys   
    • The cryptocurrency world is no stranger to innovation, and Fartcoin is the latest example. Built on the Solana blockchain, Fartcoin is part of the Terminal of Truth project, which allows users to observe AI conversations without constraints. This project aims to explore the boundaries of AI and see if it can achieve surprising performance.   While some may see it as a novelty, others believe it could provide valuable insights into AI's capabilities. It's a unique approach that combines the worlds of cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence, and it will be interesting to see how it develops after its debut listing on tier 1 CEXs like Bitget. What are your thoughts on the intersection of AI and cryptocurrency?
