In April, Justin Bieber became the hottest news personality in America, topping headlines across countless media outlets.
Although there was no shortage of support for him, within the mainstream opinion, this singer became the target of severe criticism and even sparked nationwide protests and demonstrations.
Various groups including Black, homosexual, and transgender communities successively publicly denounced Justin Bieber, calling on everyone to boycott his work.
Ordinary fans, supporters, and the public might not care about these, but in the mainstream media, Justin was utterly vilified.
Many celebrities came out and made harsh criticisms.
Apple's CEO, Cook, said Justin did not understand what respect was, Magic Johnson's son thought Justin needed to apologize to the world, Ellen Degeneres invited Justin on her talk show to debate with him live...
All these were influencing public opinion.
