  That was likely on the main BuzzFeed domain, as the BuzzFeed News domain doesn’t post that kind of clickbait content headline. Can you find this headline or one like it on buzzfeednews.com? Otherwise you’re conflating the two separate sites.

  Exposing Uyghur detention camps and the FinCEN files are. Which is why the won the Pulitzer for that and not the best ways to hit your prostate.

  > "21 things I know fit in my ass" is great investigative journalism. That's like accusing the New York Times of not doing great investigative journalism just because it publishes crossword puzzles.

This meme needs to stop. It is pure legitimacy-washing and I can’t believe the HN crowd falls for it. It’s like Exxon donating a pittance to an environmental protection fund and calling it even. I wish we would stop giving them credit for “helping” when they’re the ones causing and profiting from the damage in the first place.

  They won a Pulitzer last year and were finalists 3 other times. I don’t think this is quite the stretch you’re making it out to be. BuzzFeed News is indeed a very different beast to BuzzFeed proper.
