What skill necessary for journalism is difficult to master? It's not like HuffPo contributors are quality writers.



Grammar and structure. Are you intimidated yet?

I've seen posts on the OT, PB, and SECRant that are better displays of insight and analysis than most of what passes for journalism.

Forgive me for being weepy but I want to talk about what BuzzFeed layoffs mean not just to ~the state of journalism~ but to the internet at large. A bunch of people were laid off (and more to come! frick!) who quite literally created and shaped the internet as we know it today.

I’m sure HuffPo’s requirements are strict:

1.Transgendered
2. Non-male
3. Non attractive
4. Doesn’t shave pits
5. Masters or PhD in something completely useless
6. Turns into a blithering, screaming, crying lunatic when sees a MAGA hat
7. Blames men for all their problems

Yeah for the worse.

13 ways Buzzfeed's clickbait bullshite ruined the internet. You won't believe number 6!

26 times BuzzFeed wrote a clickbait title and I couldn't even. Number 17 is EVERYTHING.

But what happened was they only presented their opinion pieces from one POV.

You see good opinion pieces in regional newspapers, WSJ, etc. discuss opposing views and arguments for each, with the writing coming to a conclusion that leaves the reader understanding their position, but aware that there are other sides/ideas to the story.

They’re more qualified than you to talk about trans Latinx dating in the 21st century, you bigot.
