Yeah, I think we still can see a massive influence of mainstream media, as well as some niche channels online.
Specially now with AI generated content, because we will see any type of media, being designed just for you in particular, to move you into wherever the person paying money wants your mind to be.
I think it is a good idea to be a bit more independent of media these days
The media only becomes problematic to individuals that tend to completely rely on them for certainty and at the end disappointment sets in when things didn't work out as expected, that's generally in gambling perspective, undoubtedly the media gives enough informations that is meant to serve as enough guide and not to completely rely on, for example there can be times when a Player might not be at his best personal performance and odds that can as well happen during the match, we should have in always in mind that uncertainty are always possible when it comes to gambling, even though the media has so much to offer. Yeah, past and present events is never a guarantee for the future.
