Just posting in another Buzzfeed equivalent to a thread.
Now, now. Buzzfeed's name doesn't inspire confidence in journalistic standards but in fairness it hasn't been a worse outlet than NYT, The Guardian, and other "investigative" bastions of newsmaking. Singling them out hasn't really been warranted. The dossier brouhaha was one thing but even that whole thing was kinda complex and complicated. (To be avoided here like the plague, like other politics, for good reason.) Just saying it doesn't quite work as a metaphor for bullshit.
