what's the reasoning behind this?  are you just simply throwing bait? why don't you try and give us some examples of the "plain old truth and facts" that you're talking about?
What do you think the misinformation from India was? a simple mistake and misinterpretation from the news about what was actually happening? don't be naive, that was straight up FUD to shake up the market and the weak hands, same as the FUD campaign from South Korea a few weeks ago,

And what about the FUD about Tether a few weeks ago ? the whole thing about the subpoena happened in December, but the news (specifically, bloomberg) decided to report it a month later, the attempt to spread FUD was so obvious that bloomberg had to edit the original article to write the actual date of the event which occured in december, otherwise, people would've thought it was actually happening in January 30.

The spread of false information/fake news as well as media manipulation is real, the only person in denial of this fact is you.
