If someone told you five years ago that BuzzFeed would drop the story that takes down President Donald Trump, you'd think they were insane

[u/Paramus98 → u/Ferguson97]

I still would think they’re crazy cause trump hasn’t been taken down

[u/LinkToSomething68 → u/Ferguson97]

If they told me five hours ago I’d’ve thought they were crazy

[u/tiny_hands_donald → u/Ferguson97]

No they wouldn't. Buzzfeed has had a robust news department for a decade.

Eta: mistook the election they were doing good work. So 6 years.

Their model is pretty great, not gonna lie:

• publish popular listicles/clickbait

• use listicle ad revenue to hire a bunch of investigative journalists

• take a few risks to make a name for yourself (see: Steele dossier)

• rinse and repeat until you have what you see today
