My local NPR station aired a story a few months ago about a local "NFT museum" that was 100% uncritical boosterism. IIRC, it featured a conversation with people affiliated with the NFT org (and nobody to provide counterpoints, and nobody with any significant amount of technical nous to point out the clear bullshit a la Moxie's thing[1]) that painted NFTs as the future of all art. The combination of the apparent veracity of the source with the absolute lack of nuance in the story was pretty striking; I think that was the only time in a lifetime of listening to public radio that I submitted a complaint about something I'd heard. It really felt like journalistic malpractice, although I guess I'm not sure how much blame to apportion to evil lying techbros vs. credulous underinformed journalists.

Anyway, a few days later I had to explain the whole situation to an artist friend who'd heard the story and wanted in. Argh.
