I think Bitcoin itself isn't making the media say stupid things. I think the media says stupid things all the time, it just happens that a lot of us, who knew Bitcoin from the beginnings and already have a fair share of knowledge on this subject, can see more clearly how inherently flawed a lot of the information is.

This sudden uprise of awareness and the news coverage that came with it, surely made me even more skeptical about mainstream media, as no one is to be trusted. Financial Times, Bloomberg and all the big ones that have such a tremendous amount of weight behind them, are in the end inseparable from blogspam, as they have the same sensationalistic tendencies and didn't do their homework, at all. It's not easy to digest the phenomena Bitcoin, but at least have the decency towards your followers of not commenting on it until you have established at least a semi-understanding of the matter.
