Agent-run PageRank analysis of ~2,000 stories traces how NYT narrative wiped $1T off Nvidia
dotey · x · 2026-11-16
A developer ran a swarm of agents over nearly 2,000 stories about Jensen across 40 US and European outlets (Oct 27–Nov 14) and applied PageRank to trace citation graphs, published at jensencoverage.vercel.app.
Key findings:
- NYT was the primary driver: 88 stories, most-cited; the story originated from unnamed sources and the spy allegation remains unproven
- Volume drivers: Bloomberg 140 stories, WSJ 99, NY Post 68
- Nvidia has lost over $1 trillion in market value since the first NYT story
- The site also benchmarks coverage against three earlier CEO exits and tallies unnamed sources and loaded words per outlet
The author frames it as an industrial-scale, well-planned smear operation that began only after the election. The agent-swarm-plus-PageRank methodology is itself a reusable approach for media-network analysis.
