I would argue that news is the biggest fault in this clip. While some idiot or someone with malicious intent on a platform can start something like this, it really wasn’t until it got picked up by reporters with followings that it really gained momentum. Once buzzfeed got involved, that’s when it was over for any semblance of truth around the suspects. NBC just boosted it to megaphone levels further, with no verification. Social media is bad for truthful stuff, for sure, but news media has a duty to verify shit first

This is why it helps to have law enforcement on reddit who know how to reach that community. I've seen how they can do a lot to steer people in the right direction and get them to have a bit more moderation.

To add on to all the threats, harassment and suffering the tripathi family went through. Two weeks later Sunil tripathi dead body was found floating in the seekonk river. Cause of death was suicide.

This aired to more ears than Opie has drawn in at least a decade, and it was a throwaway character than nobody cared about.

I found it quite interesting that no one has commented on comparing the Reddit insanity over the Boston Bombing, and the plot line on "Newsroom" of these incredibly powerful and journalistic giants being duped in a spectacular way on a topic called "Genoa." I know it's only a plot line from the writers, but the comparison is just to rich for words. In particular, the dialogue from McKenzie McHale, "Well done faceless mob!" It's just funny to me that with that incredible stack of "fact checkers" the staff at the mythical ACN were suckered by one of their own. Interesting parallel.

It was a weird line even when the show came out, first of all because 42" were around at least since 2006 at reasonable prices. I have a friend who in the time between 2004 & 2013 managed to switch three different large screen TVs, first a 42" plasma, then 42" LCD, and by the time the show came out a 55" LED, and I can guarantee you he didn't make nearly half as much as a the character of Gary Cooper did in the show. More importantly, my memory is a bit fuzzy about it but I'm pretty sure they didn't do plasma smaller than 42" or at the very least 32", they did and still do with LCD, LED, OLED, etc... But I don't recall any "small" plasma...

I'm definitely not trying to say 4chan is infallible or that they should be the gold-standard of anything, just that the peeps over there seem better this than peeps on reddit, if only be cause reddit seems more 'above board' than 4chan in general and so reddit's users are less likely to use 4chan's sketchy methods. Obviously, the overall efficiency of said methods is all over the map, with both good and bad results. I'm just saying that for all the misses, 4chan (simply by it's nature and reputation) is more suited to this than reddit, because (in an obvious generalization) reddit, and it's users are more 'above board' than 4chan, so doing what 4chan does would be out of character and potentially damaging to the overall reputation of reddit, but how can anyone possibly damage 4chan's reputation more than it'self? In short, if reddit is good-cop, 4chan is bad-cop. Sometimes bad-cop gets things done, even if he fucks shit up pretty bad sometimes to.
