Media need hype. That's why no matter what happens they make sensation out of it. Also media is usually controlled by governments or businesses that usually lobby cryptocurrency banning. As it was said above some media even have no idea what is cryptomarket and how prices are formed.
But they do not make a sensation out of a 12% rise in price as happened today. This is what I meant with asymmetric coverage.
I do not think that even finacial media has any idea how ordinary financial markets are working.
