BuzzFeed, hitch up those pants. Your left-wing bias is hanging out again and seriously, no one wants to see that.
Apparently BuzzFeed hasn’t learned its lesson about leaving Twitter curation to the experts. Today managing editor Scott Lamb published a list of “People Tweeting Hideous Things About Sandra Fluke.” The tweets were truly vile. But the most sickening tweet of all wasn’t even directed at Fluke — it targeted conservative radio host Dana Loesch.
So the worst tweet in this @Buzzfeed roundup of awful tweets about Sandra Fluke is actually directed at @dloesch http://t.co/6eenFMUj

Here is a screen shot of @BuzzFeed's screw up preserved for posterity http://t.co/SR4Yz2ap

Here’s the tweet:
Put a big fat dick in your mouth & shut the fuck up kthxbi RT @DLoesch: FYI,most insurance covers birth control for health reasons. #DNC2012
— Beyoncé Corleone (@xosdlc) September 6, 2012
And if you have any doubt it was aimed at Loesch, check out the unhinged Twitterer’s next tweet.
Glady, slut. RT @DLoesch: Make me. [censored] RT @xosdlc: Put a big fat d*ck in your mouth & shut the f*ck up kthxbi RT @DLoesch

Disgusting. And typical of the misogynist slurs lobbed at conservative women every hour of every day. Somehow — somehow — BuzzFeed manages to miss the despicable hate tweets aimed at Sarah Palin, Bristol Palin, Condoleezza Rice, Ann Romney, Janna Ryan, Mia Love, Nikki Haley, Barbara Bush, Jan Brewer, Brad Pitt’s pro-life mom and countless others.
Twitchy founder/CEO Michelle Malkin includes a repulsive hate tweet in each MichelleMalkin.com newsletter. And here’s just a small sample of the tolerant, loving tweets Dana Loesch received this week.

@DLoesch Hope you enjoy Obama for another 4 years you unfunny bitch.

But covering those wouldn’t further the Left’s false “War on Liberal Women” narrative, would it?
BuzzFeed ignores Twitter attacks on Loesch and other conservative women. Well, except when “real journalists” like Lamb think they can get away with using those tweets to contribute to Fluke’s progressive martyrdom.
Loesch didn’t let BuzzFeed get away with it.
Where is the @Buzzfeed article about the hate Tweets in my timeline because I disagreed with Fluke?

Where is the @Buzzfeed article discussing the vile threats and slurs aimed at conservative women every day? @scottlamb
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) September 6, 2012
Fluke's name wasn't even mentioned in this Tweet, but @scottlamb is determined to make it work for Fluke for sympathy. http://t.co/Ia5xIq0L
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) September 6, 2012
SHH! @ScottLamb can't write about the vile threats and slurs directed at conservative women! That would destroy the Fluke narrative!
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) September 6, 2012
Bingo! Fight like a girl, Dana!
Others called out BuzzFeed’s latest bias peepshow.

After conservatives shamed BuzzFeed, the site was forced to remove the tweet directed at Loesch. But the correction was less than transparent.
Looks like @buzzfeed removed the tweet directed at @dloesch but I don't see any correction yet…
— Stephen Gutowski (@StephenGutowski) September 6, 2012
Here is @Buzzfeed's correction on the Fluke/@dloesch screw up: "We've removed a Tweet that was aimed at someone other than Fluke."
— Stephen Gutowski (@StephenGutowski) September 6, 2012
@collegepolitico @Buzzfeed @dloesch Curious. Who is this "other" person? & why does it not deserve condemnation too? #mysteriesoftheuniverse
— Jason Willoughby ⭕ (@jpwilloughby) September 6, 2012
@DLoesch @Buzzfeed @scottlamb I like that they note they've removed the tweet aimed at you, but w/o your name or any condemnation of it.
— Kate (@kateinva) September 6, 2012
No mention of Loesch, no condemnation of that hate tweet and absolutely no acknowledgment that the tweet was directed at a conservative woman. But hey, heckuva job, BuzzFeeders!

From now on, try leaving the hate-tweet collection to sites that are up to the task. Cough, Twitchy, cough.
