Reddit, Boston and the missing student

I find it funny when people talk about reddit, 4chan, etc as a single group. "Reddit should really not do this". Really? It's like saying Brooklyn should really stop being so hipster. Not only is it a very small portion of the entire group, but they aren't about to stop doing what they're doing because of a few articles.

To be fair though, 90% of reddit is the "reddit hivemind".

Sunil Tripathi (or his parents) would do well to take legal action against Reddit for facilitating this garbage, if the final legal reports support the assessment that Sunil was not involved.

Really? Someone in the news media pointing fingers at others for reporting bad information?

Yup, and they are quite correct to point it out.
