There is a mobile game. It is not the most prominent mobile game in the world. It is probably one of the least important mobile games in the world.

And I don't mean that to be disrespectful to the company who produces it. In this game, you play an assassin and your goal is to take out high profile or trouble some individuals, whatever organization you're working for.

Journalists don't seem to care that video games exist across a wide range of spectrum, wide genre.

They don't seem to care. There are quite literally games where you can kill a politician or something like that.

They're particularly upset right now because in the game, there is one mission where you kill a journalist.

That makes a lot of sense from the standpoint of being an assassin. Apparently, the story is, it's a single mission.

A guy is going to pick up a briefcase of confidential information from a police informant, someone who's leaking information.

And you've been hired to take him out because the information could be damaging to your contractor or whatever.

Well, journalists are outraged. Completely furious. Here's a story from Hoffman and Post.

Game asked players to kill a journalist to make him famous in a different way.

Why is this news? It's absolutely not news until you realize that journalists are... I don't say this.

I think there's a lot of really great journalists. But I think the profession attracts sociopaths who want power and are emotionally stunted.

You end up with Huffington Post writing a story about some random mobile game where one of the missions is violent towards a journalist.

I don't see them writing a story about any other character in the game. Why? Because they take it personally.

Because journalists believe they are a special protected class.

Now I'll stress again. There are a lot of really great journalists. In fact, I'm working with some of them and I'm trying to work with more.

But this is a job that attracts those who want power, who are bullies.

Because there's another story we're going to get into in a bit.

The accusation that vice news journalists broke into the home of the... I believe the owner of 8 Infinite Chan or 8 Chan.
