Lets see here.....
If I had a stake in a media outlet, and I had my eye on some prime land, lets say.....
But it was over priced or unavailable.
Maybe I could find some negative stories to report, etc, slant it in a way to bring distress upon that property, you know like high crime, crappy schools, or maybe pollution is causing birth defects in kids, yada, yada, yada.
Wait long enough, and when its been beaten to a pulp, buy it at a fraction of the original cost.
Or.....
If I bought some cheap land and wanted to increase its value, just run hype stories only.....
Or a business I have a stake in, or against a competitor......
Or a person in political office I want to use, or not....
Yep, press, they only tell truth, honest
