CNN just had someone talking about the government should ban people talking about the stock market on the internet.

edit: Here's the link in case people want to see it. Ignore the article about Trump (really weird to blame Trump in this case), but watch the video. https://edition.cnn.com/2021/01/27/politics/gamestop-stock-s...

CNN is a news site not a hedge fund, do they have quotes from hedge funds that I missed (entirely possible)?

CNN is an entertainment network. They don’t need quotes from hedge funds. It’s easier and more engaging to get “an expert on hedge funds” to rant on-air about how mad they must be, and then report on it as if it were news.

They also have had a few stories about how this is "Trumpism". They're desperate for eyes. It think it's great and the fact that discord dropped the WSB channel because of bad users (which could easily have been infiltrated users) falls right into the same issues we were having a couple weeks back.

All of this makes it clear that people are frustrated and upset. My only concern is people that can't take the squeeze jumping in on the train and losing in the end.
