With positive crypto articles in mainstream media being posted here almost every day, have you ever considered that there is no big conspiracy and not all mainstream media is unfairly biased against crypto?

Seriously. I don't want to point fingers at a specific post, but I'm inspired by this one, titled "Finally an article in a mainstream magazine on the positives of crypto". The thing is: articles from mainstream media that are positive on crypto are posted here every day, often with a similar title. Why do people pretend there is a huge conspiracy and all media is super unfairly biased against crypto?
I have two guesses: either 1) people want to see a conspiracy – if the media is conspiring against crypto and is keeping it down, then crypto will explode once that stops and we will all be rich, or 2) people are so extremely biased pro crypto, that they see most positive reporting as neutral, and most neutral reporting (that maybe is mentioning some objective problems) as negative. Both are equally problematic.
I consume a lot of different media, and I would say I'm not hyper-focused on crypto. My impression is: like with every other topic, there is no general sentiment towards it in almost all media. The media reports on stuff people would want to read – and that's mostly somewhat sensationalist, sure. Huge price surges or dips. People becoming millionaires with some moonshot, or losing tons of money with a scam coin. Some articles do a deep dive and look into technical aspects, consequences for society, etc etc of crypto. Pros and cons. Unfairly biased articles are the vast minority. Sure, some articles are uninformed and get details wrong – but that's not unique for crypto, but is true for all complicated, technical stuff – and will most likely get better over time.
tl;dr: most media is not unfairly biased against crypto, most reporting is pretty fair. There is no big conspiracy trying to keep crypto down.
