Title: Poll:CoinDesk and Mt.GOX. Love or Hate?
Post by: GreenDude on February 17, 2014, 08:38:45 PM
After reading that australian guy who went to Mt.GOX headquartes and being told by Mark K. that CoinDesk hate him.. and later reading that same testimony on CoinDesk but CoinDesk avoiding the part in which the guys says that.. and later seeing so many news about Mt.GOX im really starting to think something is going on there.. Because those are not only bad factual bad news (which would be a prefessional way to give news).. but more like an angry ex who talk shit about you and post her bad thoughts about you on facebook saying how bad you were/are.

Because also i've read, not from coindesk, that Mt.GOX saved another company who lost their customer btc time ago. Those were a few hundred of thousand of dolars who Mt.GOX pay from his own pocket and saved those people.

Also the fact that when Mt.Gox halted the withdrawals CoinDesk was not giving factual news, but more like bitching. But when btc-e halted withdrawals almost no one heard about that and when Bitstamp halted withdrawals there wasn't all this bitching/bad press..

And now after Mt.Gox said they are resuming withdrawals soon and listing those REALLY important improvements.. CoinDesk write another ex-gf kinda story. guess the name! Yes "Why Mt. Gox May Be Headed for Bankruptcy"

Wth is going on? Are they working together or is just a love/hate story?

If you are professional jornalist and/or run a professional press businesses you should follow "Journalism ethics and standards".

cf. "Does coindesk.com write for payment?" https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=473497

Interesting to see that the OP doesn't even consider "CoinDesk is trying their best to give unbiased, original, well researched information to its valued users.", which indeed sounds like a parody.

Missing option:

Coindesk is reporting on Mt. Gox so much because it is big news in the Bitcoin community, seeing as how Mt. Gox was one of the first and biggest exchanges in the history of Bitcoin.

I would wager that any large exchange, if experiencing major problems for a prolonged period of time, would also garner the press attention that Mt. Gox currently is subject to.
