this honestly just feels like how you outsource bribing the media as a politician

These prediction markets need to be outlawed.

Polymarket should cancel their bets, since the gamblers are trying to influence the outcome.

These are the bets losers pushing the journalist to lie, so thats likely a postive outcome for them. Polymarket apprently banned everyone invovled in the bet after this hit the news, but its unclear how the bet itself resolved.

Polymarket shouldnt let people bet on wars or violence in general, but they will because casinos get a cut of every transaction.
