"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Can You Trust The News?
The link above is to a set of Google News results for a recent 'Bitcoin' headline. The headline is about the suicide of a Bitcion Exchange CEO. The only problem is the company she ran, First Meta, has nothing to do with Bitcoin. All you have to do to confirm this is actually go to https://firstmetaexchange.com. If all of these news source have the story completely wrong it's scary to think about how much else we read is wrong.

It would only be scary if it were a novel idea. . . but it's so ubiquitous as to be more pathetic than scary.
