So when did buzzfeed become anything even close to a reputable source!? Apparently buzzfeed is accusing the president of things. No matter what side of  the argument you’re on surely we can all agree that buzzfeed is a joke.

National Enquirer does not think highly of your opinion of it’s main competitor!

Dig a little deeper. I thought the same thing too until I researched. Buzzfeed news is a separate entity and is run by Mark Schoofs. Mark is an investigative journalist who won the Pulitzer prize and has many other accreditations. His team is made up of other Pulitzer finalist.

Buzzfeed News is not Buzzfeed.

Even if it’s true any prosecution would be entirely divided on partisan lines, facts be damned.

That’s the real joke.

Buzzfeed is good, mostly.  They did try to convince people a pee tape existed, so they aren’t perfect.

Buzzfeed != Buzzfeed News.

I had to learn that one the hard way sometime back. “Why is the site known for stupid quizzes  doing actual journalism?”

Dude, we have a bankrupt, former reality-tv star, as the President of the US. Buzzfeed occasionally hinting at some truths once in awhile is far less difficult to believe.

If Faux is reputable to some, then Buzzfeed can be as well.  Woe be the reader of 98% of the material online.

One of the authors of the article in question won a Pulitzer prize in 2016, the other is a finalist in 2018.

Maybe Buzzfeed is known for clickbait slideshows , but that doesn’t really detract from its ability to own and operate a separate news organization led by well qualified journalists.

Well, actual journalists are journalists. It doesn’t matter if they are working for Buzzfeed or the NYT if they have experience and education that backs them up.

Well I guess that’s true. My grumble is more about the trend toward lowering the bar about what we accept as credible journalism. But yes, journalism is journalism whether or not it’s any good.

And unfortunately, a whole bunch of people with internet connection, don’t know how to use it to educate themselves.

Its no more redcioulous than claiming fox or Breitbart as a source

I mean we haven't NOT seen a pee tape so it could still be out there

Yup. Too bad it looks like they got it wrong in this case.

A piece of it is wrong but we don’t know which piece so it’s really hard to gauge anything.

Honestly, I hope it’s mostly right and Mueller’s report is so damning that the House and Senate will unanimously remove this asshole and end this long national nightmare...

You have a lot more optimism than me haha. I’m feeling pretty defeated at this point.

I am an eternal optimist. The Ds in power don’t seem to have much appetite for an impeachment, regardless of what additional evidence comes out , and far too many Rs have already sold their soul to protect him, so why would they change now? But, if the report is so clear about his guilt in serious-enough offenses that every representative/senator that voted against impeachment would have zero credibility left and would be sure to be voted from office at the next election, we might get what we’re all hoping for.
