View submission: Elon Musk misleadingly suggests other celebrities made controversial 'Nazi' gesture

Please stop smearing everyone with the same label. The not monolithic fourth estate aren't mind readers and no matter what they report someone has their knickers in a bunch because they don't personally like this that or the other thing.

It's like Trump complaining non-stop with the conspiracy theories. He natters incessesantly about stuff he doesn't like. The words themselves don't change anything. It's really really boring and intelligent people begin to tune it out.

Intelligent people don’t tune out anything. Intelligent people spot when something is bullshit, and learn to trust reliable sources.

A lot of the media tries to play to the middle by using as neutral a language as possible, but that’s not responsible reporting. Responsible journalism would include pointing out what happened and how it relates to the world even if it seems biased, because some things (like being a troll who does Nazi shit) are just biased.
