opinion writers as well

so we're not talking about getting sources, doing research, and breaking stories. we're talking about mothefricking opinions


Correct and the structure of the HuffPo Blog cracks me up. A bunch of ultraprogressives using female and minority labor at minimal pay to save on overhead.

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.



But you're talking about legitimate writers/journalists. If you write a one sided opinion as if that's the only rational opinion to hold, you better hope your literary chops can prop it up. In most cases, these stereotypical whiny millennials can't write for shite.

What's amazing is how out of left field this whole arc was as the artist had to pander after stabbing his hand.

Now he's on to autism threesomes and robohuman lesbian relationships.

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.



Does their arrogance know no bounds?


They make Trump seem humble by comparison

Huffpo is "beautiful, diverse, inclusive"?

When did 100% white become diverse?

Is this any different when all the oil field trash was crying over law-offs. Guess the market will flood with Suburua and hybrids instead of f250s.

I don’t think the O&G community had spent years snidely telling the “journalists” to “learn to turn a wrench and weld”.

We're talking about glorified message board posters honestly.


Sort of, but on a message board, generally people call you out on your bullshite.

For these snowflakes, they were living in the ultimate echo-chamber and getting paid for it.

I've been involved in many cults, both as a leader and a follower.

You have more fun as a follower but make more money as a leader.

That is the base joke of the trolling.

It is no different, but “journalists” were smugly telling those blue-collar workers to diversify because their jobs were obsolete.

These “journalists” should learn to code.

Isn’t one of the signs of narcissism projecting your faults onto other people?

Cause these liberal nut job journalists sure seem to think their shite don’t stink and everyone that disagrees with them is the devil.

I'm sure the DNC will be inundated with applications expressing their desire to finally be a part of the OFFICIAL DNC propaganda wing. However, if that doesn't work out, they should be prepared to apply for a job that their worthless degree qualifies them for --
