But you can blame the mainstream media for not also reporting all the good news about Tesla. It seems clear they have made an editorial decision to only tell bad stories.
It's especially puzzling because the MM is very concerned about global climate change, and that problem can't be solved withuout EV's, so you would expect them to be big Tesla boosters. Instead they seem to be following the Koch brothers directions.
- skybrian 8y agoI think you underestimate the power of personal drama to drive away other news. "Tesla sales up" isn't so exciting outside the business / car enthusiast pages. Musk, on the other hand, is a celebrity. That means everything he does gets a lot of attention whether it's important or not. He successfully used personal drama for many years to gain attention. Recently this celebrity focus turned on him. A conspiracy isn't needed to keep the media focused on celebrities; to the extent one exists, it's redundant.
