The Fader Committed Libel Against Anthony Fantano and Sam Hyde
It's likely that you've already seen the article slamming Anthony Fantano's meme channel, thatistheplan that appeared on The Fader and was cited by a number of publications such as The AV Club. These articles accuse the channel of being a "secret" YouTube channel that panders to the alt right with offensive, racist memes. Many of said memes were completely misrepresented, often times being said to have the exact opposite meaning of what they actually have.
However, libel is a tricky accusation. Memes, being as vague as they can be, might be a difficult situation. However, there is one instance of what I believe to be actual libel in the article. This libel is contained in the editing of Sam Hyde's comments on the Needledrop podcast.
