Apparently our good friend Mrunlikable is trying to defend the Lovelies' reaction to his "trial of Ben" post and how it's apparently caused an even bigger divide within the Main Subreddit in the process, by playing the naive nice guy and saying he's a journalist.
I shit you not.

How can one immense faggot not stop digging his own grave for one second and think about what he's doing, and how in the fuck did he somehow gain this much sway in the fandom over one post about a somewhat suspected sex skeeze!? Am I in Omega-Clown World? Have I stepped into the goddamn 4th dimension or something? The fuck is even happening anymore? How did we go from this being about Ben, to a fanbase lynch mob "trial" that only reignited why people were pissed at him, to a battle on the grounds of journalistic integrity, to Mrunlikable trying to make the entire situation about him rather than the actual problem he's supposed trying to fight for!?
EDIT: My favorite excerpt from this whole exchange.
on Reddit in this world. Surely he will save the day and get that handy from Arin the loving respect from the fanbase he so desperately craves. Nay: deserves.
EDIT 2: For those unfamiliar with the situation, just as a refresher: the entire fanbase collapsing in on itself alongside automoderation anarchy is happening right now, all because Arin couldn't answer a simple Yes/No question.

Watch out boys, we got ourselves a journalistic badass over here, who don't need to follow no conventions to make a differenceCanadian Freelance Journalist Mrunlikable said:I'm going to correct you real hard right now. Just a heads up.
Ahem
I was a journalist. For 6 years. I stopped because my local news papers decided not to pay freelancers anymore. Hard to live off nothing.
I'm Canadian, so I work by Canadian Press standards. See https://caj.ca/ethics-guidelines for more information.
I'd like to point you to the "conflict of interest" section of these guidelines. It mainly refers to the relationship between journalists and the government. You can read the whole thing obviously, but claiming I'm violating any of these would be a stretch at best.
Finally, these are more like guidelines as opposed to a formal set of laws.
Journalists in Canada have complete freedom with how they deal with various situations. The world is constantly changing, so our ethical requirements are flexible to reflect that.
Nothing against Associated Press though. They got good people doing good work.
Edit: I forgot to mention that AP's code of ethics also doesn't necessarily cover this situation either, but their rules are rigid to the point that they don't allow people to wear poppys on rememberance day.
