When I read that Ben Smith from Politico was hired as editor-in-chief I knew right away that you couldn't trust that rag.

When ever there was an article from Politico I always said you have to take that with a grain of salt.

Buzzfeed is a glorified clickbait blog being steered by an ex- from Pollutico.

It is partisan trash and unworthy of discussion in the general town square.

Politico once upon a time pretended to be non-partisan. Same with The Hill.

“Maxine Waters says ‘Trump has...’”


No one could argue with the veracity of her claims without being called a racist.

Her “truth” may stretch and shift and be molded in various forms like the theory that mathematics classes are white racist because they only allow one correct answer instead of variations and nuances of answers by black students on exams.

So, now we know the quality of the news the MSM puts out.

It’s based on something called Buzzfeed. It sounds like a gossip rag.

The would be closer to real news if their source was the Babylon Bee.

True.

On the 50,000 watt WJR yesterday I stupidly tuned in and heard this milktoast phony Guy Gordon (self-appointed moderate host who is liberal but has a smarmy virtue signaling pose to appeal to the uninformed) start by saying he usually is hesitant to do a Buzzfeed based story....and then enthusiastically said it was like Nixon and obstruction of justice and questioned a professor on the beginning of the end for Trump as Nixon finally was forced to resign. The prof kept saying “we don’t know” and “That’s only if the friend of a colleague of a friend actually said Cohen said this and Buzzfeed was right...”. Gordon: “But then this would be the way Trump will be forced out of office soon.”
Ruined my afternoon.

You are 100percent correct. You have to take both Politico and The Hill with a grain of salt.

I heard it announced (PDJT ordered Cohen to lie) on the radio yesterday morning. You know, the news blurb they repeat every 15 minutes all day.

Funny, didn’t hear a retraction when Mueller swatted the big lie away. Hmmm, wonder how many people now believe PDJT ordered Cohen to lie? Probably most people who heard it during their busy day.

They know the base (42%) can’t be moved off of Trunp. Goal is to get the flip flop voters to think Trump is toxic.

All this debunked story proves though is the Trump is correct. The MSM is corrupt and can’t be trusted.

Mueller will have a bunch of smoke but no fire report that libs will spin to raising impeachable offenses. Nothing criminal. Case closed.

They’ll then say Mueller was compromised by Russia.

The TDS on display yesterday was level 7. They’ll crank it up to 11 when RBS dies in the next month or two. She has pneumonia.

buzzfeed was like outbrain

Was those stupid click bait links you would see at the bottom of a news article that were ads. It’s viral marketing is what it is and Democrars bought nto it by putting someone from politico in charge of BuzzFeed’s politics.

It’s the same crap of collusion that the Democrats accuse Russia of on fakebook influencing elections

To: I want the USA back

Even while the story was being clearly de-bunked on the internet, CBS ran this phony BuzzFeed rumor as their 2nd top story last night.

No one should ever criticize Russian or Chinese state-run media again, as America’s is exactly the same.

Vox and Vice are equally bad.

Decades ago it was better when the founders owned and operated it

If Mueller was as decent as democrats are saying he would have come forward with the truth at noon... NOT waiting until it became a Friday night dump.
