White House advisor Stephen Miller just dropped a bombshell—claiming CNN has essentially blacklisted him from their airwaves. Meanwhile, Trump's doubling down on his criticism of the network, publicly calling for a complete ownership overhaul.

This clash isn't happening in a vacuum. The current administration's been notably crypto-friendly compared to predecessors, and how mainstream media frames regulatory discussions actually matters for market sentiment. When key policymakers get frozen out of major news platforms, it creates information asymmetry—retail investors end up hearing filtered narratives while institutional players work backchannels.

What's wild is the timing. Just as Washington's pushing clearer digital asset frameworks, we're seeing this media-government standoff intensify. Whether you think Miller's got a point or not, these power dynamics shape how regulatory news reaches traders. CNN's one of the biggest pipes for financial news globally—if they're picking sides in political battles, that's another variable to track alongside your usual on-chain metrics.

Yeah, this is information warfare. CNN holding the discourse power can decide what retail investors watch and listen to. Institutions have long figured out the direction through backchannels. This timing is really perfect; the regulatory framework hasn't even been set yet, but the market is just guessing... We need to do our own research. When media and government clash, retail investors suffer the most; they are fed filtered stories. Does CNN, as such a major financial channel, truly favor one side? On-chain data, however, is more authentic... Miller says being on the blacklist doesn't bother me much, but the fact that major platforms can manipulate the narrative is very dangerous.

The fox's tail is exposed; the game rules of mainstream media discourse should have been changed long ago. --- It’s true, information asymmetry is indeed the root of the problem; retail investors are always the last to be cut in the final wave. --- Is it now so blatant for media to pick sides? No wonder on-chain data always reacts faster than the news. --- It's one thing for official media to control public opinion, but now even mainstream U.S. media are playing this game. How twisted is that? --- The key point is that policymakers can't speak out; how can retail investors keep up with institutional moves? --- Wait, isn’t this an information war? If CNN truly favors someone, traders would need multiple screens for monitoring. --- I just want to know what impact this will have on the next round of regulation. It feels like the wind is changing again. --- A collection of cases where propaganda machinery and political collusion are involved—it's a bit disgusting to watch. --- Speaking of which, this kind of media monopoly is equally disgusting both domestically and internationally. --- How will the situation develop next? Will it truly trigger policy changes? That’s the real key.

NGL, this media game has a pretty big impact on the crypto circle. Information asymmetry puts us at a disadvantage. --- Wait, is there a problem with this logic... Policy friendliness ≠ crypto prices will rise. CNN can report whatever they want. --- Basically, it's a power game. Retail investors are always the last to know. --- Got it. Moving forward, we need to monitor on-chain data and backchannel information, not just rely on news. --- This timing was really perfect... Regulatory news and political struggles mixed together, it's a hassle. --- So, we still need to do our own research and not rely entirely on mainstream media. --- Impressive... When big platforms control the narrative, retail investors are just easily exploited.

This media censorship routine should have been exposed a long time ago... Why is it so difficult for retail investors to avoid getting chopped up? CNN chooses sides, institutions eat the meat while retail investors drink the soup—old tricks. Asymmetrical information indeed hits the nerve; the behind-the-scenes capital game is too dirty. Policy transparency still depends on self-investigation; don't expect mainstream media to tell you the truth. Speaking of, back channels are the real power centers, everyone knows that, right? The media's power is too great, with no constraints—how can fairness be possible? The issue of policy leaks and leaks about directional guidance—crypto markets have already tasted the bitter fruit.

Media control information asymmetry, how can retail investors play like this... We have to rely on on-chain data to救 ourselves again --- CNN really blacklists policy people? Then who trusts regulatory news, I only look at on-chain indicators --- Wait, at this time engaging in media warfare... Is Washington trying to secretly push the framework? A bit of a sniper move --- Information gap has appeared, institutional investors have definitely already known in advance... Retail investors are passively getting squeezed --- So mainstream news is completely untrustworthy, which is why you have to do your own research --- Power struggles are intense, traders need to pay more attention to tricks from policy levels --- Miller being silenced, the voice of crypto-friendly policy weakens, which is not good for the market in the long run --- There must be capital behind the scenes pushing the waves, this kind of media war is not simple --- Chain data is the most honest, anyway I won’t watch CNN anymore

The media is hijacked by politics, retail investors are still eating leftovers. As for information asymmetry... institutions finished discussing it over the phone long ago, while we're still arguing on Twitter about whether CNN is fair or not. Implementing the framework is a good thing, but with the public opinion field so chaotic, how can we be confident in going long? The big players fight each other, and in the end, we are the ones who pay the bill—that's really absurd. This is why we must focus on on-chain data and not believe everything in the news. Connections determine everything; it's always been that way. Who controls the discourse controls market expectations. Wake up, everyone. The key moment in regulatory negotiations was actually silenced—that move... Mainstream media is exactly this way, selectively turning a deaf ear. Retail investors are always the last to know.
