I still don't understand. Every major news article utilizes slander, targets individuals for their own personal or ideological gain. That's how they earn money. I agree that targeting individuals like pewdiepie is scummy and shouldn't be done, but i'm kind of puzzled why you aren't so vocal on calling out websites like Fox, Breitbart, CNN, cnn, Buzzfeed, and other super popular news outlets that use this tactic all the time.
They're so powerful that they can essentially swing the results of the election with some well placed articles here and there. This kind of bullstuff is common-practice but according to these people it's some kind of 'leftist scheme' to censor the media, even though you openly advocate in the reporters being laid off or fired simply for doing their job. It just seems to me that you're super upset that a left-leaning outlet does it, but nearly unfazed when right-leaning outlets do the same thing
WSJ led the charge here, with other outlets picking up. CNN and other sites aren't relevant here because they aren't posting articles about this debacle (as far as I'm aware).
Not to mention, it's extremely weird that you're telling me that I don't rail on CNN for being slanderous enough yet if I can remember you've responded to me before for calling CNN fake news, saying that no, it was generally a reliable source. I don't know when this was, so don't quote me on that. The point is that I've made my opinion on CNN clear in the past, but they're not reporting on this so I don't loving care about them right now.
I'm not upset that it's left-leaning, I'm upset that a slanderous article or two put several people's livelihoods at risk just to make a quick buck. They literally took a joke Pewds made about the media taking his jokes out of context and they took it out of context. These are the people making all this happen.
For the record, they are left-leaning, yes, but I'd have the same problem if a right-leaning news source did it for purely ideological reasons as well. That's why I was upset when that conservative website (I can't remember the name) ousted Milo Yiannopoulos as a "child enthusiast".
