This is very interesting - even the top news outlets like NewsBTC and Bitcoinist can publish & promote anything you want for some 'extra' money.
the problem is that we shouldn't call these "news outlets", they are "advertising platforms" that are created to make money. all of them are the same. they place some ads (banners,...) on their sites and then try to attract as much traffic as they can. as they gain some popularity their advertising methods also grow from only being banners,... to also be more focused and be articles they write in advertisement.

Personally, I'd only trust CoinDesk and CoinTelegraph with news updates related to crypto.
you are very wrong in thinking this way. these two sites are better for sure but they are still bad. in other words they are bad instead of being worst.

Cointelegraph will publish anything. Their articles are crap. They have even promoted scams.
