This is mainstream media being sensationalist per usual. This is what the original Coindesk article wrote.
"They appeared to oscillate between dejection and defiance, at times holding their heads in their hands and clasping their hands. Bankman-Fried’s mother audibly laughed several times when her son was referred to as a “fugitive” and his father occasionally put his fingers in his ears as if to drown out the sound of the proceedings."
It definitely sounds more like a stress response.
- anonporridge 4y agoLol. When Coindesk is bringing more nuanced news reporting than CNBC, you know things are whack.
- catominor 4y agothings be whack
- humanizersequel 4y agoI wasn't acquainted with them until roughly 6 months ago, but from what I've seen Coindesk has actually been an excellent publication.
- dopidopHN 4y agoMedia arm of digital currency group. Fine people, but just as a disclaimer.
- ravel-bar-foo 4y agoThey both make money by selling ad space and attracting eyeballs to that space, but the audience of Coindesk is going to be much more interested in the financial details, whereas the more general audience of CNBC is going to be less interested in getting the details of the story right, and more likely to read a story that is lightly sensationalized.
- ccn0p 4y ago"less interested in getting the details of the story right" is exactly what is "whack" about media today.
- anonporridge 4y agoOr maybe it's better said that Coindesk readers are much more likely to have real skin in the game, and therefore highly penalize news outlets that give inaccurate information.
- joeblubaugh 4y agoSo you’re saying that the facts in the sentence are true
- leobg 4y agoWhat a laughable game of telephone. A writes “holding their heads in their hands”. And B, presumably to add their own twist to the story, perhaps to avoid quoting A verbatim, turns it into “put their fingers in their ears”. Edit: Just realized that A actually did speak of the father putting his fingers in his ears.
