The Mainstream media is unfairly maligning Felix Kjellberg as an anti-Semite, decrying a handful of jokes that he had made in his videos over the last six months. This has been a campaign of character assassination that has cost him his sponsorship deal with Disney and YouTube Red. Felix Kjellberg runs the largest YouTube channel in history, called PewDiePie, and the loss of these sponsorships has cost him millions of dollars. This is a completely unfair attack on Kjellberg. He is a comedian and his jokes are not an indication of bigotry, they are only meant to make you laugh. This is not an isolated occurrence, there are dozens of articles in existence attacking alternative media personalities. More importantly, we cannot let the media wage war on comedy and go unchallenged. Satire is an important tool at our disposal for political discourse and we should not let them take it away from us. If a comedian wants to make off-colour jokes, they should be free to do so knowing that it is only a joke. Nothing is off-limits for comedy.
unlike those trusty fringe political news sites
You just cant imagine a news site outside of CNN, NBC or ABC being "reliable". Irony is that CNN, NBC and ABC arent reliable due to their political biases.
mm all news has political bias, including fox. however, theres a fine line on what is real news and what is oversensationalized, with examples being CNN and to a more extreme degree buzzfeed ect
these msm networks are heavely biased, and any network with opossing view points outside of the 'liberal norm',
This is literally no different from places like Fox and Breitbart and cnn, they just have a right leaning bias (a very extreme one in the last 2 instances) instead of a left leaning bias.You don't get to call an entire news site "fake news" because you don't like the stuff they put out. The name fake news is reserved for sites whose entire purpose it is to impersonate more reputable sites and make up fake clickbait articles 24/7 for money until they're caught and taken down.
This is why Ive come to realise the MSM isn't a reliable source
Fox News seems mostly libertarian these days though.
