* The whispered rumors are we will see a TV show (modeled off the European version) where some insufferable media hack (secretly working with the government and internet providers) brings a camera crew and goes to the doors of internet Twitter Trolls and exposes them as tearful losers.
* BBC has tried this. It was pathetic.
The idiotic female YouTuber they used to front it interviewed a really nasty guy who had been trolling the family of a dead girl and . . . he bleated he was afflicted by drink (or drugs?) and thus he dindu nuffin (he was white btw). She agreed that essentially he was another victim. Instead of demanding he be horsewhipped.
Then she tracked down another guy who had been trolling an MP and other celebs. He was supposed be mortified, instead he was completely unapologetic and said he only attacked the rich/powerful etc. Not ‘civilians’. Also he was a total leftie and thus only attacked the sort of people the BBC has been telling him to attack all his life.
So the trick they tried to pull was to equate the disgusting, nihilistic trolling of ordinary people with the legitimate challenging of the powerful. And then give the scumbag a free pass while failing in any way to shame the political troll who, ironically, believes the BBC’s editorial line.
Epic fail.
