Wall Street in general is always biased to the upside because that what gets the institutions whales, trust funds, government, execs, and investors paid. It is important to hear the other side of the story. There is no true justification for the stock to be where it is. Fake analysts are raising price targets like its candy just keep the squeeze going. A great example of this is what's happening right now with Tesla. They want the party to go on as long as possible and are willing to mislead and deceive to achieve that agenda. Yet, they hardly ever mention anything about bubbles and downside risk. Typical Wall Street financial outlets will do nothing but pump stocks and talk about how the stock market is going to the moon. While some of their articles may push the limit, we find that they may be providing more truth than most of the mainstream media. ZeroHedge has been one of the few to go after and attempt to wake people up on what is happening with the central banks and the Federal Reserve and should be commended. Therefore, it is extremely valuable to receive a truth that we won't hear about otherwise. Zero Hedge is one of the few financial blogs with some influence and sizeable audience, that is not controlled by large Wall Street media players. With their enormous power conglomerates controlling them behind the scenes, they determine what we're allowed to see and not to see. These media outlets have controlled/dominated the narrative by brainwashing American's since the beginning (especially after invention and mass usage of the television). They called it "arbitrary and unjustified." Well, if you are going to ban them for supposed fake news, then you must also ban every single mainstream media Twitter handle as well. The same thing happened to them with Facebook, but it was eventually overturned. Recently, popular financial blog ZeroHedge was banned from Twitter permanently over a post that a Chinese scientist may be responsible for leaking the coronavirus and that it may be being used as a biological weapon. A federal court ruled that Trump blocking Twitter users is a First Amendment violation, so why would Twitter blocking users accounts not be the same (without a very strong reason for legitimate threat)? With technology evolving so quickly and these giants getting closer to Washington bureaucracy, maybe they can no longer be considered "private." Twitter has become so powerful that it is now vital even for President's to reach their audience directly. Several of these companies are now deeply connected to government which makes this case even stronger (Twitter maybe not as much as others). Therefore, new protections must be established. Big social media is a different animal and they are becoming free speech platforms. The founders of America certainly could not anticipate a beast of this nature in their time. Constitutional laws are of course open to interpretation. Some will claim 'free speech' only applies to government, but it actually should and does apply to any 'entity' that attempts to suppress the voice of the people. It doesn't matter if these social media powerhouses are private or not (many are publicly traded), as the power they yield to potentially limit free speech is far too great and a new phenomenon. When you have the ability to shutdown years of someone's hard work building brand influence and followers in an instant, you must have high scrutiny. With the level of their influence, there may have to be more accountability, inspection, and even a potential legal precedent set by the high courts. We are at the point now where these businesses have become so powerful that lawmakers may have to step in to be sure our First Amendment right to Freedom of Speech is not being violated. Very powerful big tech companies exude enormous influence and have the ability to censor our content. There are unprecedented censorship activities taking place with social media these days.
