The Vicious Circle of Sup Forums’s Mass-Shooting Hoaxes

“After every single goddamn shooting in this country, the same news cycle emerges from it. Every single time,” Whitney Phillips, a scholar of internet culture who’s currently researching media coverage of trolls, told me today.
“I’ve been studying this for ten years now, and I have absolutely no doubt that the reason these same manipulations unfold around these tragedies is because they work, like clockwork. And they can set their clocks to a certain journalistic response, and that’s why they do it.”
The fuck were we wrong about? We had the shooters and person of interest's name hours before it was released to the media.
Apparently we identified the wrong guy initially. Which is total horseshit, I remember the threads. We had the name Stephen within a few hours.
We initially pinned it on his brown bitch's liberal ex.
And we do it for free
There was another name floating around, but a mistake is not a hoax. A hoax implies an intent to deceive and there was none of that. The media is really going all out against Sup Forums lately, it's weird
Are you lot not aware he's talking about Sam Hyde?

They want to discredit it like it's a news source for some reason.
