Media will always try to spread the negativity towards common people in such an extent that they will eventually create a bad taste towards certain innovation or ideas.
In this case they always are trying to influence common people to create hate towards Bitcoin as it was used by some criminals and drug dealers.
This kind of blind bandwagon is making me hate the media.
They are always trying to gain traction to their news by spreading negative messages since people gets more attracted towards negativity as a whole.
I think you are wrong, the media is a neutral party. Because I think the media also spread the word about the benefits bitcoin. I also know and use bitcoin because of acquiring of the media. Just imagine if without the media, maybe people in the world do not know bitcoin. LOL
