The internet went into DEFCON 1 yesterday when Ethan Klein (of h3h3productions/Vape Nation/Papa Bless/"NAWLEDG!" fame) made perhaps the most inflammatory claim about the mainstream media in recent weeks -- according to Klein, the Wall Street Journal deliberately faked screenshots showing ads running against blatantly racist videos to craft a story about Google bakrolling bigots. Ethan, assisted by screenshots sent by the creator of one of the videos cited by the WSJ, believed he found the "smoking gun" which proved no ads were being displayed on the offensive videos. The original WSJ story sent a shockwave through the YouTube community, who was already incensed over their previous PewDiePie story. An online "old media vs new media" war had already been brewing, and things became even worse after Ethan published his "exposé". And now that we've had more time to sift through Ethan's finding, it seems he misinterpreted the data, hilariously jumped to conclusions and embarrassed himself -- and the entire YouTube community -- in the process. Claiming the mainstream media is "out to get youtubers" sounds more like a crazy tinfoil-hat conspiracy theory today than it sounded 2 days ago.
