I spoke to the Washington Post on @pewdiepie, and this Verge (Vox) journalist statements in the story how delusional the media is. The real story of pewdiepie IS journalists misrepresenting him to spread outrage. The lack of self-awareness is staggering. washingtonpost.com/amphtml/techno… 
Between pewdiepie's transgressions and journalists writing about him, the media has shown to be unreliable. Pewdiepie is not a white nationalist. He is not making 76 million people racist. They are not going to Stormfront. These statements repeated have no basis in reality.
Saying pewdiepie is aligned with anti-semitism because he linked to an anime video or played a game with a dude making fun of jews is disingenuous and not only a failure to understand how video games or even the internet works, it lessens the impact of the term for actual nazis.
Vox, Buzzfeed, previously WSJ/Gawker sites and other prominent internet culture journalists with their Freezing Cold Takes over factual reporting have done more to erode trust in their publications and the media as a whole than pewdiepie has done to make the internet more racist.
Note: The quote in the parent tweet is spliced and the Stormfront comment is from a fan, not the journalist. The answers regarding how the media isn't at fault is from Alexander, which is still the point of this thread. Journalists deserve the criticism in coverage of pewdiepie.
The media has just as much ‘responsibility’ for its coverage to readers as for what pewdiepie says and how it translates to his fans. Ridiculous assertions in articles and tweets from journalists Vox’s Romano and BuzzFeed’s Burnstein make all of the media look bad, not credible.
