Not sure if all of these downvoted comments are just spamming "liburl media" right-wing talking points like is pretty much the norm now for anything critical of Trump, or just out of ignorance, but Buzzfeed was nominated for a Pulitzer on it's Russia reporting and has many award winning reporters on staff.

I mean, I'm sure they do also sometimes produce journalistic content, and it might be of great quality when they do.

As already pointed out a dozen times in these comments, buzzfeednews.com and buzzfeed.com are distinct.

Buzzfeed != Buzzfeed news

Here are some examples from buzzfeed news:

https://www.buzzfeed.com/heidiblake/poison-in-the-system

https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/nicolenguyen/how-apps-t...

I think Buzzfeed news should rebrand itself so people stop getting the two confused
