Commentary in general is always going to be self-serving to some extent.

I do agree that the motivation from a for-profit organization is going to be editorialized to fit the business. But there is still motivation for the commentary to be reasonably accurate. There will also be differences between commentary from a buy-side asset manager like Blackrock vs sell-side firms vs investment banks vs commercial banks.

And even among asset managers - the quality of the commentary will vary greatly. Commentary from an asset manager like Blackrock will vary from commentary from an asset manager like ARK Investments. And different asset managers look at macro indicators through different lenses - an asset manager like PIMCO which focuses primarily on the debt capital markets will be different than one that focuses on equity markets.

I have also seen some really bad commentary and research from non-profits. Someone recently posted a research paper in another subreddit from an economics professor (University of Florida - iirc - paper about fund expenses and impact on retail investors) But the paper was so bad and appeared to be written without consideration to how market microstructure works and excluded some very important facts. It seemed like the professor didn't actually have any real-world experience.

And with for-profit organizations like bank holding companies - commentary (especially market commentary) from different subsidiaries within the holding company may sometimes even disagree with each other.

I think the key is to understand the source, potential motivation, experience, and access to data of any commentary.
