To be honest, the disgusting hit pieces/slander from WSJ, Vox, The Verge, etc that has been on PewDiePie, has made me loose almost all faith in MSM outlets and their credibility. If you let your journalists write things that are so outright wrong, and so extremely trying to twist the words of someone to manipulate your readers, then why on earth should I trust any other story from you. And I doubt in any way I’m alone in this—proabably the far majority of PewDiePie’s subscribers don’t take media outlets serious anymore. The age of journalism has long been dead. Click-bait killed in, and now they just putting nails in their own coffin.

I knew little about this topic until I just happen to catch Pewdiepie on a podcast. He spoke at length about the recent Swedish elections, how his mother cried when the Swedish Democrats (the new right-wing) party won, how he thinks young people can be more racist than old people today, went on to defend immigrants, the old Swedish values of being an open society etc. He sounded like the complete opposite of what the media in these stories are portraying him to be
