As the Senate was voting on the failed effort at a “skinny” repeal of Obamacare, Buzzfeed’s “breaking news reporter” was on it, while sounding like a DNC talking points memo:
Riding the subway home, madly checking twitter, desperately hoping millions of Americans still have healthcare

Really?
You're a journalist???

BuzzFeed reporter straight up advocating against proposed legislated she didn't like https://t.co/BZb8WZeBiZ

Gotta love that brand of objectivity! And yet many journos wonder why people don’t trust the media?

Weird. Their ethics code online says not to do that

Probably should have added 10 reasons for the ethics code in gif form to increase staff readership/comprehension.

This is why Buzzfeed is a joke. They have advocates pretending to be journalists. I shouldn't know your views on healthcare. https://t.co/iUVqLzT2mW

Sounds a lot more like opinion than breaking news.

Wonder if she was doing the same when the premium hikes were announced last year?

There’s also the issue of the media, either deliberately or unwittingly, not understanding the subject matter:
What % of journalists do you think know the difference between insurance and healthcare? Somewhere between 0 and 1%? https://t.co/mVEuqcl8aI

Blinding ignorance from a "journalist"… as if we needed more examples of how writers don't know anything. https://t.co/zRFZtD4zX2
