Bearish talk about Tesla is just about given a police escort through big media.
This is how Lutz, Chanos, various bearish analysts, etc., repeatedly can pound their latest version of their bear narratives without there ever being any mention of how their many past Tesla forecasts proved to be nonsense.
At the same time, when a Ron Baron, or a bullish analyst appears on big media "but, aren't you concerned about smoking pot on air, 'competition,' a capital raise, the sky high valuation, and on and on..."
Advertising is the lifeblood of the media. Tesla doesn't advertise. The other automakers do so quite heavily along with the oil companies. Follow the money.
