WSJ published an article claiming that a popular YouTuber PewDiePie (Felix Kjellberg)
made anti-semitic remarks and used Nazi imagery, to essentially promote Anti-Semitic sentiment. PewDiePie claims that his comments were taken out of context and these are targeted attacks against him by the WSJ. This is now turning into a full blown public debate with PewDiePie supported by 10s millions of his youTube followers essentially taking similar position as Trump re media being enemy of the people. Disney and other larger advertisers cut their ties with PewDiePie. The dynamics of Big name media companies vs social media influencers are changing. Both sides have strong arguments. Racism and Anti-Semitism is an important topic not to be taken lightly. This public debate is evolving daily, so which side are you on?
With Trump takimg a stromg stance against media, and now this..will it turn into a broader conflict of People against Media, and who is right?
Below is the WallStreet Journal Article
And PewDiePie video response
It's kind of fun to do the impossible

At the same time, WSJ did go overboard cherry picking facts. I don't think that PewDiePie is a Nazi and a follower of Hitler. It is disturbing that they continue to pop their headlines and twist facts like they do with Trump and to some extend this example. Context is important. I think that social media influencers nowhave a lot of following and will be overtaking big media companies more and more.
so in summary:
1) PewDiePie is wrong, regardless of appology
2) WSJ and Big media is also somewhat wrong.
3) Any flavor of anti-semitism and Nazi implication is terribly disturbing and shouln't be tolerated.

I don't believe that he is a Nazi though, and probably just made a mistake...but no second chances on that one. Disney is right to ban him.
WSJ used their Donald Trump playbook to cherry pick facts, but if I had to make a decision on this one I pick them.
i do think that social media players are gaining power and have a good chance to win this and other similar battles.
