Do the maths! 1,800 BTC have been seized. Poloniex offers the 0.15% fee to the victims. How much BTC worth of trades are needed to cover that amount? Answer: a f*cking huge sum!

And Poloniex actually won't have nothing to pay as everybody who had their money stolen has removed what was left of their funds of that untrustworthy exchange.

Most media companies are all guilty of this, and some of them are doing this in the name of market is all about speculation, and they juts publish whatever news that they see without strictly verifying it first, it is very important that we personally do not completely rely on one source of news, and we need to be very slow in acting, we should take our time to analyze the news thoroughly and then compare it also before we act on it.

The two companies that you mentioned are still one of the best news provider, the best in the sense that they are still the most popular ones, because are ones that I have seen around too will strictly be doing same if these ones can be doing that too, anyway, just like we do research on ICO, maybe they just want to stress us to start doing so much research on a particular publication first.

Yes, that's what's scary. If those 2 fail to deliver good information, you can't expect much from the others.
I'll keep on reading The economist. I don't always agree with what they're saying, but I know that at the very least, the journalists there, have done some research before writing.

If the big media about crypto presents fake news, then which news media about crypto should we believe?
I am very disappointed if the biggest crypto-journalist media and trusted by large populations in the world give false news

these headlines are pretty insulting. i scoured the articles for disclaimers about being a paid advertisement and there's nothing---shady to say the least. describing discounts on trading fees as "refunds" or "reimbursements" is blatantly false.

of course, reasonable people won't get a cent back because they won't risk keeping funds at poloniex anymore.

You can really differentiate a good and well searched article to a non-searched/no effort ones.If you are keen with journalism matters then you can easily spot out.

About fake news, this haven't been a new issue among these days even on traditional news site on traditional markets do have the same and what do shock me is that these sites are still on top highly being recognized to be a good news source. 

It gets even more interesting when you take into consideration that the people behind Coindesk have a significant stake in Coinbase and Grayscale as well, which helps them to push their narrative in an effective manner.

I'm however less surprised about how manipulative crypto news outlets are. I have seen it happen outside the crypto world as well, and there is very little that you can do about it other than to stop reading and sharing their news articles.

I do use Coindesk the most of all crypto news outlets just because the rest sucks harder. I want to stay up to date with everything that's happening here, and from there I can do my own research would I doubt the validity of their claims.

Ever since I got interested in cryptocurrency for the first time in 2017, I have used many of these sites for getting daily information on crypto (including Coindesk and Coin Telegraph). Fake news is a big scourge. It not only whips up unnecessary hype, but it also makes crypto users laughing stock in front of the rest of the world. That said, I would say that Coindesk is far better than the rest of the bunch. Most of their news stories are accurate, and they don't publish fake news to increase their visitor count (unlike the Coin Telegraph, which is very infamous for dishing out fake news).

We should not trade based on the news, none of these news! The news are a tool for the whales to trick the small investors. You probably heard before about "buy the rumor sell the news"! If you look at their news, when they fud, it's usually at the bottoms or near the bottoms. Whales never sell at the bottom, only a small trader does, they panic sell at the bottoms. Whales buy their cheap coins. When there is a good news they are usually starting to sell. Because whales have a huge amounts of coins and they can't sell everything without causing a dump. So they need some good news when dumb money starts buying. That's when they can sell a huge amounts at the higher prices. That's how it works. 

Poloneix ?
 
Also seems like cointelegraph is helping it out , that too in a bad way ,... Maybe they are just getting commission for doing so ..or maybe they haven't themselves gotten into this issue.
Most companies just see drama and they wanna post it , but it does affect the lives of the reader that too to a bad extent , instead of competing they should provide solid news , that's how u gain trust .
