Journalists investigating current events? Huh.
Next you’ll be telling me scientists only investigate results of experiments!
Police only investigate results of crimes!
What’s next? Washing laundry after it’s dirty?
Where will it end!!
- remotecool 7y agoYou call buzzfeed journalists? Even so, why no interest in this company 5 years ago if it's not politically motivated?
- ch_123 7y agoBy that logic, all current affairs investigations must be politically motivated.
- sergiomattei 7y agoBefore you dismiss their reporting... BuzzFeed News is a new branch of the company, with its own autonomy from the whole thing. They have Pulitzer-winning staff in there, and their investigative reporting is actually quite good.
- GordonS 7y agoI agree, but WTF did they keep the name "BuzFeed", which has such a poor standing?
- oro92 7y agoStraw man and ad hominem? Check Completely anonymous? Check Value to this conversation? Zilch You’ve made your point. “Lookit me act like a banal conspiracy theorist for attention. Let me baselessly challenge the way society works. I have no answers or framework, just Jaden Smith twitter level questions I won’t ever try to answer myself. I’ll just pepper others with pointless questions challenging their views for no reason.” K bud. Figger it out
- mortenjorck 7y ago> You call buzzfeed journalists? This comes up every time with a Buzzfeed News investigative piece. Honestly, I don’t know why they kept the name when they launched their actual journalism org; it’s kind of like starting a legitimate, old-school blood testing laboratory under the Theranos name.
- comicjk 7y agoI said this to a blue-check journalist (Max Rosenthal) on Twitter, and he mocked me for it. But I still think it's true. The name BuzzFeed is just not helpful.
- tgsovlerkhgsel 7y agoIronically, at this point, I associate Buzzfeed more with their reputable, high quality journalism than their clickbait.
- freyr 7y agoBuzzfeed and Buzzfeed News are not one in the same, and Buzzfeed News does do real journalism. See, for example, this series of articles on Vladimir Putin's ties to a killing campaign on British and American soil: https://www.pulitzer.org/finalists/staff-buzzfeed-news https://www.pulitzer.org/finalists/staff-buzzfeed-news
