(Originally I was going to post this on the Entertainment & Media section but I figured this does raise questions for some serious discussion that I don't think is appropriate for that section.)
So You all probably know what happened by now, but Pewdiepie is under another attack by the mainstream media for "espousing antisemitism" with his jokes.
If you aren't in the know, basically Pewdiepie has been dropped by Disney and Youtube for making what some people can consider off-colored jokes, which he has apologized for already. But arguably the bigger story in this is that WSJ and many other mainstream media news outlets have used this to "prove" that Pewdiepie is racist anti-semite.
My opinion on this is, well, I've been lacking trust in mainstream media more and more in recent years and this incident further illustrates to me why.
What are your thoughts?
