10. Why would VauxNews give these racist trolls a platform to spread their filth?

Now thousands more people can read it and the trolls get what they want: attention. Do you think Serena wants to see these assholes and their comments in the news? Imagine what it feels like for her to make history and then see the top news stories discussing her appearance with the word "monkey" used.

"A twitter user said" is not news. Report those tweets and move on.
