BuzzFeed Is Democracy, or Something
It’s hard to take seriously Farhad Manjoo’s claim that layoffs at BuzzFeed represent “a story of impending slow-motion doom — and a democratic emergency in the making, with no end in sight.” (Hat-tip: Instapundit.) As I explained Wednesday (“Who Keeps Paying BuzzFeed’s Bills?”), the company has devoured nearly $500 million in investment capital since […]
Suspect Arrested in Atlanta Assault
Last week we reported (“Violence Against Women Update: Woman Raped on Video in Atlanta Nightclub,” Jan. 24) one of those cases that feminists always ignore, for some reason. Try to imagine the outcry if a “privileged” white male suspect had been accused of such a thing: A man was arrested after a video appearing […]
Who Keeps Paying BuzzFeed’s Bills?
Harrison Smith at InfoWars reminds us that BuzzFeed, which recently announced it would lay off “15 percent of its staff (with pink slips to go to up to 400 people, according to one insider),” has received nearly half a billion dollars of venture-capital investment since launching in 2006.

Grant Amato, a 29-year-old nurse, killed his family members at their home in […]
Madness Take Its Toll
Frankenfurter, it’s all over. Your mission is a failure. Your lifestyle’s too extreme . . . The woman spoke with a Russian accent, and she wanted someone to listen. We were in the lobby of the Heritage Foundation after Monday’s event “The Inequality of the Equality Act: Concerns from the Left,” where the ideology […]
Prejudice and Error
If the basis of your investigation is a belief that witchcraft is the source of social problems, you’ll probably find some witches soon: Mistaken identity is always a risk when a witch-hunt hysteria takes hold, and the hunt for “hate” in the Trump era has produced a mob mentality that rivals 17th-century Salem. Just ask […]
How Anti-Christian Bias in #FakeNews Media Is Encouraging Anti-Semitism
This is a topic I am reluctant to write about, but in the wake of the Covington Catholic school story, the elephant in the room is now so large that it is more dangerous to ignore it than to mention it: It’s rare to see a major media outlet be so honest about its […]
