[QUOTE=GHOST!!!!;51871156]I mean we now get that WSJ are dick heads, but then so is J.K Rowling for blindly following their bullshit.
The cunt.[/QUOTE]
i mean she's in her 50's so i don't really expect her to know much about a youtube star, so i don't know about cunt :v:

She made a character in her books that satirizes the dishonest media
She's so rich and successful that there's really no reason for her to honestly have any vendetta against someone like PDP, who in comparison is basically nothing.
She should be way smarter than to be fooled by fake news, but apparently she isn't

Well, you'd think the person responsible for creating Rita Skeeter would look into articles intended to damage somebody.

Its one of those things where she really should know better but has decided that *this thing* just isnt worth her time to be honest or actually do research about. She just doesn't care about some dumb internet memer so she's fine acting like tool about it. All they end up really caring about is the argument itself and being right once they pulled some random shit out of their asshole, see it all the time everywhere. Just because someone is a rich famous writer doesn't mean they are immune to being a hypocritical retard, like jk rowling.
There are things people just don't care about and tend to throw away all their rationality when engaging with them. most people have a lot of things like that but often don't form or express an opinion on those things.
[QUOTE=Splash Attack;51870011]Unfortunately, I doubt PDP would be able to make a libel case against the WSJ. The way libel works is the US is they have to be saying things that are verifiably false. They're being misleading as fuck and putting a spin on it but nothing they have said in their reporting is strictly false.[/QUOTE]
But they are, they're specifically saying "PDP is a nazi and is racist and this proof we have verifies it" when all of that proof is actually completely taken out of context and in fact verifies the opposite. It's like if someone on TV said "I am not a nazi" and then someone took that video, edited out the "am not" and put it up in a news story saying "this person said they're a nazi".
I highly recommend reading the WSJ article this is about too: [url]http://archive.is/ZP7sw[/url]
In my opinion it's not as bad as he makes it look. They actually quoted him explaining that it was just a joke and that context matters.
To be perfectly clear, it's still a terrible article and I think PewDiePie is in the right here, but everyone should hear both sides of the story before forming their own opinion.
"Traditional media is jealous of more successful new media, frames an innocent Youtuber in an effort to become relevant again, fails and gets FUCKING OWNED"
[QUOTE=Zang-Pog;51873307]I certainly hope WSJ ends up eating a few truckloads of shit over this whole deal, because [I]holy fuck[/I] this is ridiculous.
When did media get hijacked by a bunch of unethical goblins and how do we stop them[/QUOTE]
Hijacked? I thought it has been like this since digital media became a thing and they found clickbait trash got more views than legit journalism? Hell it worked for the sun.

Maybe I'd be more accepting of their side if they hadn't gone straight to his sponsors before doing the article. They were quite obviously being malicious.

WSJ went to disney and youtube, trying to convince youtube to remove ALL monetization from pewdiepies channel. All that just to get a nice big fat scoop out of it.
Trying to ruin a guys career so that they could report on it.

Lets be fair though, the title alone shows a lot about them
Please, please let this go down the same road Gawker did.

Calling someone an anti-semite vs. leaking a sex tape are a totally different ball game.
clicked on this expecting to hear about some mild dumb fuckery since I assumed his last video would've cleared things up a bit for them but wow i was not prepared for that fucking Himmler glasses comparison. That is just incredible ahahah
Never thought I'd become a Pewdiepie fan. What the media did to him is inexcusable and I hope he drags them down to the deepest depths of hell. We're talking Fox News levels here.

remember when radio killed the music industry?

And when TV killed the movie star?[/QUOTE]
Wasn't it that video killed the radio star?
