> The main stream media is responsible for the blood in the water feeding frenzy around this

Every single mainstream media host has been talking non-stop about the danger to the little guys who will lose everything from this, and how blind fanaticism on sites like Reddit & Twitter and popular celebrities are to blame for propping up the bubble. They all get called Wall Street shills for it. The mere mention of regulation risks getting them death threats. All of the frequent guests (Cuban, O'Leary, Chamath, Elon and many more) just dodge this question and continue with the "power to the people" talk. Heck Mark Cuban was on Reddit today asking people to buy more GME stock, and then defended it on CNBC right after when the host grilled him on it.
