BuzzFeed’s Founder Spreads False Information. I Was One Of His Victims
The Daily Caller ^ | January 23, 2017 | John R. Lott, Jr.

At the moment, media outlets want nothing to do with BuzzFeed, the “news” website that published unverified, “fake” allegations against Donald Trump. The allegations are so flimsy that even Trump’s political opponents never used them.

What few know is that BuzzFeed founder Jonah Peretti has a history of knowingly spreading false information. He has used fraudulent websites and email accounts to pretend to be people he wished to defame. I was one of his victims.

This is the kind of story that simply leaves me raging on the inside. These are the kind of people for whom the whip was made. Jonah Peretti should be publicly scourged.

Cue the picture from “Casablanca”, I’m shocked! Shocked, I say! That a leftist progressive would commit fraud to gain politically is something I have never heard of!

The same should happen to NBC and Huffington Post, too. Both are alleged news media. Both should know the details of the companies who receive their investment cash. No blather can excuse them. They knew what they bought.

Both companies need to be destroyed.NBC should FCC licenses and no one should ever click a Huffington Post link. It’s time to get rid of these companies.

Commies do this because they live in a world without Natural Law and the Founding Documents, only “Agenda Uber Alles”.

Lott should link up with Peter Thiel’s lawyer and take down BuzzFeed for $500 million. Gawker their ass into oblivion.

I disagree. They are much of the of the reason that Trump was elected.

They are the poster children for progressive foolishness. Way out on that limb.

Now we have a candidate for head of the DNC who says her job is to shut down white people’s voices. Wants to tell them to shutup.

I say “Publish your thoughts! Let the whole world bask in your racist nonsense! And then send your resume to fast food franchises!”

Karma! Hollywood picked a fight with Trump . . . guess what’s early on the budget chopping block?

January 21, 2017 | Frieda Powers | Print Article

Hollywood may be regretting picking a war with President Donald Trump.

While attending an inaugural ball on Friday celebrating the arts, celebrities lashed out at the new president for considering budget cuts that would eliminate art funding.

Trump’s team has been looking at a proposal that would drastically cut federal spending by $10.5 trillion over 10 years, according to The Hill. On the cutting block would be the National Endowment for the Arts, which would be eliminated entirely.
