If you were to compare BuzzFeed to a dirty motel that you’re too scared to look at what’s on the bedspread with a black light, you’d be correct:
Well then. Bed bugs detected at BuzzFeed NYC HQ. Fumigation happening tomorrow, employees asked to WFH "out of abundance of caution"

But we must credit BuzzFeed’s own Steven Perlberg for reporting on his own filthy work conditions:
I'm the media reporter!

More reporting from inside the office:
SCOOP: the BuzzFeed bedbugs were detected on the 14th floor, a source still in the building tells me ? #bugsfeed
— Julia Reinstein (@juliareinstein) June 22, 2017
I regret googling "can bed bugs live in computers?"

i workshopped some jokes about the bedbugs do you want to hear them

BuzzFeed Editor-in-Chief Ben Smith reports he’s “left the country.” How convenient that he’s not going to be around at his website’s time of crisis:
I've left the country.

As for the office, it’s a ghost town:
The BF newsroom after an email goes out telling everyone to stay home because we have bed bugs ?#bugsfeed pic.twitter.com/HTtbXXiYTZ

Any recent visitors to BuzzFeed should take note:
We interviewed Emma Watson and then surprised her with bed bugs

And could Facebook be next?
If you think it's funny that BuzzFeed's office has bedbugs, let me sweeten the deal: Facebook is in our office building, too. ?

And what is going on in NYC? Last week it was bees at Vox:
Bees at Vox, bedbugs at BuzzFeed – maybe Trump arranged for a pestilence on the media?
— Anne Helen Petersen (@annehelen) June 22, 2017
You just knew it was Trump’s fault somehow.
