I think the influence is big, usually when people see any news about anything most do panic and act accordingly which is not right of course. Same situation when I check news and rumors about my investments, ICOs, etc. as example Dexage (DXG) got listed on Latoken and people who follow this project followed to Latoken platform which also sort of news to attract more investors of course and push the price higher. Well in other hand without the news the any project can't be that vivid.
