They don't have much to say about Kalshi other than "unlike real mainstream journalism, there’s no accountability". Which isn't saying much, because nobody is claiming prediction markets are a type of journalism.
James Surowiecki wrote an entire book essentially saying otherwise.
Claiming that something is a better way to learn about the world is NOT the same as claiming it is using a specific method, or part of a specific tradition.
I’m open to being convinced, but if you’re claiming mainstream media has no accountability, I think you need to substantiate that.
I realize there are information bubbles on the internet where this is accepted as truth, but unexamined. Nonsense is everywhere on the internet. I’d be curious how you’d substantiate this.
I read mainstream news, but I don't know what you're referring to.
It's not like they are perfect, but I do see accountability when they screw up.
