This is the teaser to Andrew Kerr’s highly illuminating, highly disturbing account of how a major “news” website, buzzfeed.com, was contorted into an anti-Trump venue:
- BuzzFeed created dozens of native political ads for anti-Trump super PACs in 2016 that were “based off mounds and piles and troves of data and information” it had collected on its own users, according to former BuzzFeed vice president.
- At the same time, BuzzFeed refused to work with pro-Trump groups because to do so would be “hazardous to our health.”
- BuzzFeed said that political ads on its website would be labeled as such, but most of the political ads the website reviewed by The Daily Caller News Foundation were not.
Does that interest you enough to use the link I’ve provided and read Mr. Kerr’s entire piece.
I certainly hope so.
And please do not forget that, very sad to say, this is far from atypical of so-called “news” websites – especially so-called “fact-checker” websites – on the internet.
