This Forbes stuff and billioners is way higher than just some rich person being nuts about someone disclosing that "WOW his in Mafia!"
Suppose someone says You're in the mafia and You got billions, so fucking what? Mass media says all kinds of bullshit all the time about rich people , about mafia, about government, so what? Who cares? No one's getting killed because of that.
(well..mostly)
Do You think russian mass media doesnt call our billion making dudes mafia? They do every fucking day and everyone is alive. The call Mr. Putin whatever they want and they are all alive.
(well....mostly)
It's all about different stuff.
Suppose You're Forbes , suppose You got friends in lets say company called Shell and lets assume Shell wants to buy lets say PUBLIC (thats important) local company in Africa "Oil Corporation of Republic of Nigeria". So You go and print that "Oil Corporation of Republic of Nigeria" is full of shit , mafia and drug money and all local small investors say "Wow, Forbes is never wrong" and guess what the price goes down, and here Shell is buying it for pennies.
That's just a small example.
One thing important to understand - there is no such thing as independent media. Especially in finances.

That's a pretty interesting point of view.
I think i somewhat agree with you.
