Maybe you should do some investigating then. WSJ has downsized several times and both their paid subscription and ad income is shrinking. The legacy media is scarred shitless of losing more ad money to entertainers with zero overhead costs. That’s why they are attacking YouTubers lately, to scare advertisers back to…

The fact that you think YouTubers like Pewdiepie are “kids with webcams, whether serious or exaggerated, makes your argument lose all legitimacy.

I can’t believe over 100 people starred this comment. Old journalism is dying, they have no idea why, and they’re absolutely scared of youtubers and the new media who is confusingly displacing them. You think Pulitzers mean anything when an entire industry is falling apart?

I think Kotaku holds itself to high standards, and it shows in the articles you write on the topic of YouTube, Patricia. I don’t see any articles where you vilify Pewdiepie. I’m not attacking all media.

Not losing sleep, just readers, money and clearly a grasp of journalistic ethics... The hacked together video of Nazi material was almost parody in nature and clearly designed as a hit piece. The state of print media and publications today bares no resemblance to years past, just look at their headlines to see they…

I have no horses in this race, but to claim that you are less suspect for reading those publications is delusion of the highest order.

At the end of the day Pulitzers don’t matter. Ratings revenue does.

What he said was during his “debate” was stupid. But some of what he says here isn’t. We ‘re quick to label people we don’t agree with. When someone says something stupid it’s a teaching a moment. Don’t just yell at me that I’m wrong, explain to me why I’m wrong. I understand logic doesn’t always work but that’s not a…

Hasbro just needs to start selling token packs. How many people are going to rebuy monopoly just for pieces?

It’s pulling a fast one, it’s a game, it’s humorous to some people. I found it silly

Is that really what you believe? That because you are ignorant to Japanese culture that your criticisms are valid? That doesn’t sound very progressive or even tolerant for that matter.  

It doesn’t resound much when you condemn those who don’t have the same ideals as you.

Yea, because you’re stripping that layer I imagine it won’t have the same issue since you’re effectively re-sealing it.

Ok, I agree osoblanco is in the wrong here, but where does racism come into this exactly? Why has “racist” become the new “I disagree with you”?

This. They didn't seem to tease out effects, so it's basically a useless study.

I am SO going to use "Don't make out with God in public" over and over again. Love it!

Remember a couple of weeks back when Bill Maher was yelling that if there were so many non-crazy Muslims then they needed to speak up? It was a dumb thing to say. I speak and I get "STFU, Christian. Of course we're not talking about you." No matter how you look at it "doing a better job" groups us into one big pile.…

That's a ridiculous leap in logic. At no point did I say I wanted or needed props for anything. As I mentioned elsewhere, if the article has been titled Godless Parents Are Also Good Parents I probably wouldn't have commented at all. You may not know as much as you think you do because the Christian Left is not an…

If you're basing your argument on something that FOX said about Muslim extremists then I don't think I can find reason here. I speak with my vote.

Having been raised by ultra-Christian/ultra-Liberal parents I always resent the notion that believing in God also means you don't understand science or marriage equality or vaccinations.
