". Is someone implying that media outlets and Berman is all lying and is all just a conspiracy?"
Yes, and among others, the best known of the people who are saying that is the SEC, which prompted them to suspend trading and ban this POS to the gray sheets!
Second, is the "media outlets" don't "lie". They report what they are told. So when Berman leads them on, they report his bull. The media does not evaluate CEO's statements.
