Messari’s Unqualified Opinions
Technology
The mainstream media and the crypto industry have long been at odds, with crypto proponents often accusing the media of unbalanced or inaccurate coverage. Bloomberg’s Joe Weisenthal has been covering financial markets since 2008 and bitcoin longer than many of its supporters. Over the years, Joe has consistently been one of the most informed members of the MSM who never shies away from taking a skeptical eye to the industry.
In the conversation, Joe and Ryan discuss how narratives are formed in the media and how journalists go about deciding when to initiate coverage. Joe discusses the challenge the media faces when covering complex and nuanced subject matter, where narratives are constantly changing. He also breaks down his protocol for occasionally trolling crypto evangelists.
