So? The simplest explanation is still "Controversy sells".
Remember Gamergate? Even though the game journos agreed in writing that they will all present the same message, the people who were pro-journos still insisted that there was no conspiracy, it was just coincidental that all the game publications appeared united behind a single (often verbatim) message.
Your proposal has even less evidence for conspiracy than gamergate, so why would you think it's more likely?
- thebruce87m 3y agoI don’t know anything about gamergate, so I’m not arguing anything relative to that. I’m sharing my personal experience of an anti-EV push in the media. I think it is likely because of what I am seeing in the media. Astroturfing is not a new concept, it would be naive to assume it is not happening given the history in oil and gas.
