When those things happen (ie :the Dark Skies/MDE IT’S JUST A PRANK SCAM BRO) Horse News are generally not alone on condemning some controversies,so no sorry,Horse News is not the Wikileaks/last bastion of integrity of the fandom.Horse News put too much spotlight on some LE EBIN INTERNET DRAMA OF THE DAY shit that nobody except channers,EDiots and other LE EBIN CRINGE SEEKER give two shit about.

Maybe I’m just being petty, but I’m still sore over their defamatory article on Mythril Moth a couple years back.
 
…I will admit, that they are still better than the Foal Free Press website. At least they don’t mock people with legitimate depression issues.

“They’ll write about things or do research on petty,obscure, Internet drama shit that nobody in their right mind cares about and that nobody on his right mind would put a spotlight on it to avoid Streisand Effect”  
Fixed that for you

When half the articles are trolltastic, intentionally inflammatory bullshit disguised as news, it’s pointless to treat it as anything other than a less-funny Onion.

You guys just flat out don’t like Horse News for anything. The articles are better than the comments, and sometimes they do write stuff that’s actually really good or useful. Not always, but sometimes. They’ll write about things or do research on things no one else wants to.

There are Horse News articles that contain outright lies like this:  
As a part of his Twitter statements, [Jeremy Whitley] claims several times that Shining Armor and Cadance’s relationship was not loyal.
 
No journalistic integrity at all.

Well, if we’re really gonna go there (and I do mostly agree with you), I’m going to post my favorite exchange from the comments of that article:

Big Fat Lair Jim Miller is still a dork!

I am so big and fat I have become a lair for other creatures. Also, I am totally a dork. I will not refute this.

If they are doing their best and the show keeps getting shittier, it means that they are a bunch of talentless losers who can’t do anything right no matter how hard they try.

We could probably get Big Jim fired if we report this stuff to his supervisors, yeah? Play it up all indignant-type: Cursing! And in front of the children! That’s how they really quash creativity & freedom of expression in corporate culture. Even worse, the phrase “not simply Hasbro shills” poorly positions his indirect employers. How dare he! But Mommy, I thought Hasbro was a GOOD company? That’s even more likely to get ‘im canned. I won’t do it, but a big enough jerk easily could. Find an exec, tell ‘im “yer flunky said less than totally ass-kissing stuff about the corporation on social media in a fit of honesty” and it’s goodbye BJ, hello unemployment

The series is boring as shit. At least make some romance happening or add fighting sequences. Slice of Life aren’t funny nor interesting. Just re use same backgrounds and locations and is mostly VA’s doing all the work in trying to entertain people. Their budget is probably so low that they probably can’t even make a Discord episode because they don’t have anout to pay De Lancie.
Relationships between Mane6/Mane6 are bland and without chemistry. And these with chemistry like Pinkie/Cheesee Spike/Ember or Discord/Fluttershy are completely ignored so we can focus on a new friendship of the month that never goes above 1 episode nor influence or develop characters in any way. Instead lets focus on Trixie’s memes to entertain Equestria Daily. Maybe Seth will shill our show so we don’t have to put any effort? Let’s add Derpy and DJPONETHREE so at least kids can appreciate our proffesional writing that belong to the cartoons like Care Bear and Barney Show. Fuck DHX, Hasbro and everyone currently working on the show. Especially the god damn hack Haber who probably didn’t even looked at single script he supposed to edit.

“Not simply” Hasbro shills…
It’s still so sad that the company shits on the positive creative potential of its artists
Instead of figuring out, I dunno, GOOD ways of selling new shit to the consumers
…yes I’m still butthurt about Alicorn Twi, that was the absolute worst shoehorned garbage I have ever seen in the history shitty writing and it was deeply painful as it was obviously forced executive horseshit
All the princess and castle stuff is just cringey
tl;dr RUINED MAH WAIFU U SUCK HASBRO
ALSO THANKS FOR SHITTING ON LAUREN FAUST AND WRECKING THE POTENTIAL FOR INCREDIBLE GROUNDBREAKING TELEVISION AND DOOMING US TO THIS WATERED-DOWN IMBECILIC BULLSHIT

Fuck off shill to Equestria Daily
because of echo chamber like you who will eat every shiny turn, people like Jim go lazy as fuck and give the scripts to untalented hacks like Haber or Dusedau. You should all burn in MLP hell for this.

“The show has not lost it’s original charm! Except it did! But it’s still the same show! Except it changed direction, because it’s inevitable but it’s still the original show so I’m not at fault! The show is for little girls, not for you! But if you want to invite me to a Con or ask for an interview then the show is totally for you and not for little girls! And remember, we are awesome, but awesome is a subjective thing, so if you don’t enjoy what we do it’s you who is wrong, not me!”
Every one of Jim’s tweets.

Nope. Because Big Jim cater to autists like you who don’t want romance and want to have dinner with their “waifu” Rainbow Dash, this show is going full retard with boring plotlines. Maybe after Jim gets fired and someone competent gets to write these characters. The show will actually get views like Steven Universe or Last Aribender.

The worst thing to happen to MLP was Equestria Girls.
Every asshole who supported it contributed to keep fucking up MLP by turning it into a more and more generic cartoon where suddenly everobe began loving parties, princess crap and other things the original staff wouldn’t touch at all.

Reminder: Jim Miller keeps saying it is, just like the comics.
But he also keep trying to confuse people by spewing out bullshit and nonsense to try pandering to both fans and non fans so he wouldn’t lose popularity.
Because while he keeps yammering about how the show is aimed to little kids, he fucking LOVES the attention he receives from older fans so as usual, he always tries to give vague, confusing answers that could pander to everyone while also assumes a compromise with nobody.

I wish everyone involved could just swallow their fucking pride and get Lauren back on the show and take her good ideas with the bad. If I were a toy executive I’d want an elite character designer and world-builder working on my toy ads so I’d always have new, appealing stuff to sell.
 
 
Horse News commenters are the distillation of the most imbecilic and assholish people from /mlp/, and /mlp/ is already the most pure concentrate of deluded, self-important morons present in the fandom.
