A more cynical interpretation might be that the White House wants to get in cozy with the media that younger people consume, regardless of its merits as an actual news source. I think Buzzfeed is far better than what it was, but I don't think it merits comparison to Real News Outlets.
- sukilot 12y agoIt is not cynical at all. The white house has a duty to fill the press room with diverse range of press that reaches as much of america as possible. "Serious" isn't really the criteria. And anyway, buzz feed's news articles are as serious other publishers. The presence of other silly stories isn't any worse than the Boston Globe having a comics page.
