> buzz feed

Since you are as surprised as I was a month back, I've looked further and concluded that buzz feed actually funds very high quality journalism (yes yes shocking I know) and presents facts from both sides. They do it using the money generated from click baits. I'd even make what will sound like a hyperbole , if you are the sort that wants truth on both sides of political spectrum and not just an echo chamber , go to buzz feed, and not NY TIMES or wapo.

> both sides.

There are more than 2 sides to a story.

Many, many people don't realise there is an entirely separate section of BuzzFeed called BuzzFeed News. BuzzFeed News are the ones who first published the "Steele dossier" to the public (as far as I recall; if there was another organisation in partnership, I only remember BuzzFeed News).

I recall at the time that people kept nitpicking over the misspelling of a bank (in a way that suggested people of a certain expertise never make spelling errors, which is simply untrue). It was a sensational story at the time, but all one needs to do now is to look back and compare it to what we know now.

They’re not just click bait, they do create incredibly biased content.

These h3h3 videos (The pro man-spreading one and the whiteface MTV one) are kind of silly.

Would you really say that Buzzfeed's bias strains your credulity, or is it more likely that you simply disagree with them?

All of h3h3's videos are silly. That's his style of comedy.

You can't see that a video shaped entirely by left-wing identity politics that blames all men for the crimes of a few, that ignores practical realities contributing to the issue, has a left-wing bias? Are you serious?

It will be difficult for us to become friends. What do we have in common in the first place?
