Traditional media often carries a clear bias when reporting events, with content that often serves specific interest groups. This results in the same event being presented in starkly different ways across different media narratives, where the objectivity of reporting frequently gives way to subjective biases and expressions of stance.
In sharp contrast is the operational logic of prediction markets. These markets use real money as a means of expression; even if there are initial pricing discrepancies, arbitrage actions quickly correct the prices, pushing market expectations back to the real situation.
From this perspective, prediction markets play a dual role: they are both the media of the future, reflecting potential outcomes of events more directly through financial betting and data changes; they are also the future of media, providing a possibility that transcends the limitations of subjective narratives, allowing multiple parties to collaboratively approach the truth through rational games.
