Seems like they could have just pivoted buzzfeed.com to actual journalism and stop doing the culture war tabloid stuff altogether? Instead buzzfeednews.com links to buzzfeed.com all over the place with no obvious distinction between news and gossip https://www.buzzfeednews.com/topic/twitter https://www.buzzfeednews.com/topic/twitter
