Agreed, it's eye-rollingly obvious how cadres of users have been parroting talking points for various circles, some as an attempt at distraction/deflection and others as an attempt at political gain. It all appears to boil down to beating the same "lamestream media" horse. Never let a good crisis go waste, as they say.
For the last few months, any time something bad happens with FTX, there are dozens of people who show up complaining that the media went easy on SBF. They most often use the word "puff" or the phrase "puff piece," as if the comments were all written by the same bot farm.
Then when someone calls them out on it, they're suddenly silent. Which makes me agree with you that this is people trying to deflect from the greed at the root of this, trying to portray themselves as victims, and if the big media had just given them some warning, they wouldn't have lost billions of dollars.
