Ugh, BuzzFeed. I hate to say this, but I’m obsessed with BuzzFeed’s Tasty videos and have tried more of those recipes than I’m willing to admit. Sometimes when I want to turn my brain off, I take a quiz to see what kind of mansion best suits my personality. I have my BuzzFeed app rigged so I don’t see any political posts or stupid social justice stuff, but it’s not foolproof. Irritating posts regularly slip through the cracks.
BuzzFeed should really stick to rating British candy, updating everyone on the latest pointless celebrity gossip and showing me cat videos. BuzzFeed has absolutely NO PLACE in the Actual Political News arena. Their reporters– who are supposed to be completely objective– are biased as all get out.
Case in point.
On Friday, BuzzFeed’s breaking news reporter Amber Jamieson tweeted this out.
Riding the subway home, madly checking twitter, desperately hoping millions of Americans still have healthcare
— Amber Jamieson (@ambiej) July 28, 2017
Wow! It almost sounds like she’s a bleeding heart liberal who buys into the ridiculous narrative that Republicans want to take away health care from everyone and allow everyone to die.
You're a journalist???
— EducatédHillbilly™ (@RobProvince) July 29, 2017
Yes, she is. A completely objective journalist. Isn’t it obvious?
It doesn't exactly take much to be one these days: Twitter, an iPad, and a Starbucks. Oh, and a self-righteous demeanor.
— AJ Powers (@aj_powers) July 29, 2017
And a mixed arugula, kale, fennel salad in your lunch bag. I hear trendy journalists are into those too.
Amber’s defense? She doesn’t like Starbucks.
I don't drink Starbucks, their coffee is terrible
— Amber Jamieson (@ambiej) July 29, 2017
THAT’S the part of the critique she felt the need to respond to. Forget the whole “sucking at being an Actual Journalist” thing.

Shouldn't you just report what's happening instead of spewing the DNC talking points? #MediaBias

And "Journalist" the #MSM & the #DNC wonder why only 6% of the people believe a damn thing they say.
What a flake!— Cindy (@psgcindy) July 29, 2017
Weird. Their ethics code online says not to do that
— Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) July 29, 2017
Sounds a lot more like opinion than breaking news.

Buzzfeed 'reporter' goes full Buzzfeed.

Moral of the story? Trust BuzzFeed to provide you with the best cat videos, but nothing else. They’re all biased tools forever.
