Journalists, I think, pick someone they think will be easy to bully and stick to harassing that person regardless of whether they succumb to the pressure or not

I don't know if the people working at the NY Post should really be considered "journalists."

"monstering"--to hound, abuse, interrogate and otherwise ruin the life of a public figure in the name of journalism.

?? No.

Hassan Piker is a knobhead and has done absolutely nothing for your cause. He is a negative impact.

You win there by just admitting he is not a socialist and no longer being emotionally swayed by whatever shenanigans journalists are writing about him

He's not Lenin, but he's not a random nobody either
