All sorts of things get published which can earnestly be chalked up to stock manipulation. Bloomberg for one have a tendency for reporting rumours from "numerous sources". (Such as their widely ridiculed report "the big hack".)
Also in that space are tech analysts. For all but the most obvious reports (e.g. new phone is faster and has a better camera), their predictions rarely come to fruition and their reports regularly contradict themselves, even in the span of just a few days.
Looking over the past reports from analysts (such as Ming-Chi Kuo) tells you everything you need to know about the industry.
