“As we’ve re-confirmed our reporting, we’ve seen no indication that any specific aspect of our story is inaccurate. We remain confident in what we’ve reported, and will share more as we are able,” BuzzFeed spokesperson Mittenthal said in a statement Saturday, the second in two days the media outlet released to defend the article.

When there are no consequences, why not?

Anti trump fan fiction is very profitable.

DU, CNN, MSNBC eats this shite up

Dems have done this for 2+ years. They are too invested in their bullshite narrative to take a step back and adjust course to something more moderate. They are all in on their far left direction and every failure is explained away by excuses and buried by the press. They can’t admit defeat to trump at any cost

Most definitely will be consequences, which is what I meant by going down with the ship.

Please provide me one example (other than total collapse at the very end) , where ANY Leftist or SJW has ever not doubled down. Doubling down is what they do. AGITPROP is essentially endless doubling-down. It's a societal campaign, a societal process-not an event. One does not simply disavow such things, one doubles down.

Probably not. They've probably had a lot more hits on their website because of this

They might lose credibility as they should but it might actually increase their traffic.

They do down only if someone wants to attack them legally. If they will fully posted false information for clicks that could be a legal issue for them

What other option do they have?

Either way they've been discredited.

Either way no one on the Left will care.

Won’t matter if they are factually right to the DU. This piece was morally right:

If you're confident, you have something. Or you're just delusional. You're sitting there with egg on your face, making it look as if you have something. Saying you'll release more "as you are able". If you have something, wouldn't now be the time to release it and clear the air and save your (cough, cough) "reputation". So why not release what you have???

Because you are delusional. And you don't have shite. Enjoy the rapid ride to obscurity.

Hey I’m just saying don’t be too concerned with “facts” or “semantics”. You really need to dig into the morality here.
