Manifold Market, a twisted place
Where morals vanish, without a trace
Deals are made, and sins erased
But consequences cannot be replaced

This definitely seems like good press for Manifold as long as the market creators are trusted and the displayed probabilities accurately reflect the question in the title. Could be pretty bad otherwise though.

This causes a perverse incentive for people to create news-grabbing markets and then send links to journalists.

@brp Well that might be a good thing for Manifold. Get some free advertising from the press.

What counts as "major news media"? Someone is asking me on this other market...

Do oblique references count, or do the controversial markets need to be the focus of the article?

Something like, "Ammon Lam, also known for participating on the controversial Manifold Markets website, today rescued three puppies from a burning building."
