>some of buzzfeed is alright well, I'm sure that some of dailymail, rt, breitbart, etc, is alright too. does it matter? whatever that particular branch of that outlet is doing, it is owned by the same vile individuals as the rest of that conglomerate that sows division and discord for profit. buzzfeed and its likes on both ends of the horseshoe deserve all the hate they get and more.

They were the first to pump out and up that Clinton paid for Steele Dossier / the dumb trump Pee pee tape thing. YEt they even noted it was not verified yet all left outlets picked it up and acted like it was nonfiction. Anyone who believes that stuff (Hilary clinton pizza parlor pedo ring .. lmao to Hunter Biden narrative the right pushed lol) needs a life outside of for profit reality TV oops i mean for profit manipulated, biased media. There's zero objectivity with that garbage! Think CNN might be trying to change it's course possibly with the firing of Coumo whose brother was probably forced out due to politics (Trump had it out for him). Not that I'd ever watch or read CNN or any of them again.

  The Steele dossier was being circulated among officials in Washington and they were taking it into account when dealing with things like law enforcement investigations into Trump. That, in and of itself, makes it newsworthy and creates a public interest in knowing what's in it, regardless of whether its claims are true or not.

    all of it's claims are true? Did HIlary Clinton not fund it? No left or right bias here ... only objectivity! Hbu?

    Every news outlet excepting Buzzfeed disagreed with your philosophy of newsworthiness, and it led to years of political catastrophe and public opinion of journalism reaching its nadir.

      Probably is too blinded by bias to think clearly and objectively. Yet my comment is being downvoted so unintelligent bias is still ruling over otherwise intelligent people.

      I'll acknowledge that this is a minority opinion, but it's not totally without support. E.g., Nate Silver agrees: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/should-rumors-like-the-trump-dossier-be-news/ https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/should-rumors-like-the-... I'm also skeptical of the claim that the Steele dossier had any major long-term consequences at all, but I suppose that's a difficult question to resolve.

  Pardon me, but letting alone the notion that any reasonable person with the means to follow those stories would have cause to dismiss them, the Hunter Biden stories have hardly been addressed. Hard to be part of for-profit reality TV without being covered.

    Its politics as usual making up whatever and that was covered on right wing for profit trash outlets. Just like now the right political media is pumping out the narrative of the VP being a horrible person. If you believe any of it ok that's you but time shows it's all fabricate political maneuvering so its all b.s.. Crap that i ignore and live life happily and far away from! Why waste time on made up crap? There's lots more in life to enjoy then plugging one self into for profit manipulated media machines where the viewer or reader can never truly verify the veracity of any of it. Only truth is the majority of it bias and for profit.
