Well let them at least hear the truth, not the sh%^ someone is peddling as the truth.
Press sell papers or subscriptions or get hits on their site, by stretching the truth. Anything to get attention, right or wrong information, does not matter.
By commenting on that nonsense, will at least get the truth out.
it doesn't really matter much, even if they hear negative news about bitcoin, they will hear about bitcoin.
If people are smart they will do their own research.
Only stupid people believe everything they read without doing research.
