I’d agree with that but who thinks reporting is the final step or the end all be all? Might be the final step for a reporter in the role of a reporter, but not in the role of a voter or revolutionary etc.

I don’t expect a reporter to also solve all problems they are reporting on (if the comic is making fun of the reporter). I also don’t think people consuming the reporting think that they have solved the problem by consuming the reporting (if the comic is making fun of them).

If people think negatively reporting someone would take them down. It’s only because they think that a majority of people would in fact agree that the behavior is egregious enough to take them down. However, I think we all understand that the reporting is just an important step in the process and not the final goal. I think that people saying that reporting will take someone down are simply acknowledging that the first step (a necessary step) in the process has been taken.

In my opinion if the comic wanted to pick on someone it should be the people who don’t believe the obvious and blatantly truthful reporting. Notably missing from the above comic.
