that is a big shame, it was a good and serious news organisation for years.
I was going to link to some of their good stories, but hilariously they have their own listicle of some: "17 Explosive BuzzFeed News Investigations That Made Waves In 2019" [0]

- n4r9 4y agoThe linked articles appear to refer to "BuzzFeed" rather than "BuzzFeed News". I wonder if you caught the topmost post which points out they're different? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35641611 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35641611
- gjsman-1000 4y agoIf you read the actual sources used in the comment, they are referring to BuzzFeed News, not BuzzFeed the tabloid. The FAIR specifically calls this out and says the large majority of articles assessed were from the News division. The Steele Dossier incident denounced by WaPo, FAIR, and other Pulitzer-prize-winning left-wing journalists, was also the News division. Ryan Broderick was a News division scandal. None of the sources in the comment address the tabloid side.
