Two years after The Wall Street Journal published an article criticizing PewDiePie for allegedly being antisemitic, hackers were able to infiltrate the paper’s website and post a public apology titled “WallStreet Journal Public Apology to PewDiePie” by “T-SERIES.”
December 17th, 2018
WallStreet Journal would like to apologize to pewdiepie.
Due to misrepresentation by our journalists, those of whom have now been fired, we are sponsoring pewdiepie to reach maximum subscribers and beat Tseries to 80million.
We also need your credit card number, expiry date, and the lucky 3 digits on the back to win the chicken dinner in fortnite.
