Whenever news about Chelsea Manning was posted on reddit, few comments (falsely) posted how Manning leaks were of no use, etc. "Internet armies" is very real,

  No use to whom?

    Basically they were pushing the narrative that Manning only leaked info which put US personal in danger. That his leaks didn't really reveal any human rights violations.

  Yeah, I remember that. Just massive floods of comments saying she's clearly a traitor and no punishment is severe enough. It was weird, because news started out as a blend of neutral/positive/negative when the issue was first known. Then suddenly--and not only on reddit--within 30 minutes of a Chelsea Manning topic being posted anywhere, it would have an absurd number of outrageous, angry responses. The same happened with Assange news. Sometimes even Snowden.
