"Trolling the trolls" is a very stupid euphemism. The mainstream media is losing all credibility built in the past decades and seems to not be able to figure out how to halt the proccess (while changing nothing about the "values" [and people] they protect).

"Trolling the trolls" was language spez used. What does this have to do with the mainstream media?

In this case it would be appropriate to put quotation marks in the article title.

Top down narrative. Reddit CEO didn't troll the trolls, it was a huge mistake that can put in check the entire company. TechCrunch could write 99 better stories about this issue than this piece of propaganda.

It also reminds me Hillary campaign (and their MSM friends) calling half of US voters deplorable.

He changed statements against him by trolls of the_donald to say the_donald so it appeared they were insulting themselves.

Seems like a (mild) form of trolling to me.

Techcrunch is MSM now?
And Google. And Facebook.
