Our friends at Twitchy have uncovered a tweet BuzzFeed Politics’ reporter Michael Hastings fired off at Richard Grenell, an openly gay Republican political consultant who worked for Mitt Romney until last May: – @RichardGrenell ric, your tweets often appear to
The thing that you have to remember about Ben Smith and his new site, BuzzFeed Politics, is that Smith and his merry band of BenSmithers-in-training pose as “objective” journalists. Also, and this is most crucial, the idea behind BuzzFeed Politics
In a major feature piece at BuzzFeed Politics co-authored by Chief BenSmither, Ben Smith, and BenSmither-In-Training, Zeke Miller, the message has gone out to the media that “it’s time to move on” past the health care debate. This is #BenSmithing

Buzzfeed’s Ben Smith criticizes President Barack Obama for falsifying a significant portion of his first autobiography, Dreams from My Father. Smith builds his case on the research in David Maraniss’s new book, Barack Obama: The Story. But even when joining
Last week, controversy over Barack Obama’s involvement with Chicago’s “New Party” unfolded on two fronts: the story itself and its coverage by Ben Smith, former Politico blogger/Journolister and now editor of BuzzFeed Politics. The Obama campaign in 2008 pilloried National
An interview with Noam Chomsky from 1997 has the far-left professordescribing his involvement with the New Party at about the time that Barack Obama Obama joined and sought an endorsement from the group. Contrary toclaims made by founder Joel Rogers
In the ongoing discussion of Barack Obama’s involvement with Chicago’s extremist “New Party,” online literature from the Party likely reveals that the young state senator not only was a member but had to commit financially to membership. This past week,
Buzzfeed’s Ben Smith now concedes that Barack Obama sought the socialist New Party’s endorsement in 1996–but continues to give Obama, and the New Party, the benefit of the doubt on whether Obama was in fact a member. While admitting the Obama campaign misled
2012 is all about the media, as far as I’m concerned, and BuzzFeed Politics looks as though it’s going to be our primary example of just how corrupt and desperate the media is to see Barack Obama re-elected. Just when
***UPDATE: Wanted to highlight a comment left on this piece; an eloquent and insightful analysis of the BuzzFeed article from someone who describes herself as a Mormon and SAHM: I read it and rolled my eyes. I’m a Mormon SAHM. Liberals
As someone who has closely watched the media for over two decades now, I’ve seen an awful lot of shameful behavior. But I have never seen anything like CNN anchor Soledad O’Brien’s now infamous “do-over.” Never before have I seen
How pathetic is this when Chuck Norris doesn’t even mention the words “buzz” or “feed” in his column. And yet, here’s the BuzzFeed headline and opener: Chuck Norris Responds To BuzzFeed’s Obama Video Chuck Norris responded today in his column
Breitbart’s Joel Pollak appeared on WABC’s Geraldo Rivera Show.
Appearing on CNN’s Piers Morgan Tonight, Breitbart.com’s Dana Loesch and BuzzFeed’s Ben Smith had a heated back and forth over who had the real scoop on the controversial Obama hug video.
If you want to understand what BuzzFeed’s Ben Smith is up to today, watch him in this clip as he spins newly discovered video from Obama’s Harvard days. It’s video no one would’ve seen, had Andrew Breitbart not decided it
Earlier today, Buzzfeed’s Ben Smith announced on Twitter that video researcher Andrew Kaczynski had released “the mysterious Harvard/Obama/race video that the Breitbart folks have been talking about.” The video, which Kaczynski says was “licensed from a Boston television station,” shows
It’s time we start anticipating the “mainstream” media’s narratives and get ahead of them. We need to stop playing checkers and start playing chess. Yesterday the website BuzzFeed published an “exclusive” story about Florida Senator Marco Rubio once being a Mormon. In
The thing about Ben Smith is that we always seem to eventually discover something about him that helps to explain so much. Over the past few weeks, after he moved from Politico to Buzzfeed, I haven’t written a word about Ben
On Monday evening, the political blogosphere was rocked by the unprecedented publishing of a 200-page opposition research book on Mitt Romney written by the John McCain campaign for the 2008 GOP presidential primary. Who decided to release this information to

Today’s opening snark courtesy of Journolister Dave Weigel from his Slate perch: Big Government breaks the news that Bill Ayers hosted a fundraiser for Barack Obama; well, this was broken by Ben Smith in 2007, but still. I call it
***ADDED: Please read my colleague Joel Pollak’s intelligent and thoughful counterpoint here. Also, keep in mind that as a proud Palinista I watched Rubin join with the MSM in tearing apart Sarah Palin and gave her the benefit of the
This is pretty typical of what Ben — “Tanning Bed” — Smith does over at his Politico perch. From what I’ve observed over the last few years, the liberal Smith’s job is to use his blog to feed the MSM’s
Is vanity hard to mock? Failure? Addiction to a teleprompter? How about the need to use the word “I”? Urging Congress to pass a bill now that hasn’t been written yet is kind of stupid, no? And so is “jobs
With the roaring success “The Undefeated” has already had at changing the conversation about Sarah Palin from tanning beds and crosshair maps to, you know, her actual record as a public servant, the Left and their dishonest allies in the
And so it finally happened. Obviously troubled by the fact that Donald Trump’s questions surrounding Barack Obama’s birth certificate are starting to gain some real traction, Ben Smith at the left-wing Politico finally panicked and fired off the Race Card.
For some reason, many people still contend that Politico “has no politics” or is “politically neutral.” If that’s the case, someone please point out its right-of-center equivalent to Ben Smith. The JournoListo über-blogger is back at it today trying to
You say MSM, I say Politico. You say corrupt, I say Politico. Today, Politico’s Roger Simon was kind enough to almost scold JournoList for its lasting effect on his precious little profession of journalism. At one point, he and the

The next time someone asks you to explain “the politics of personal destruction,” use this example: Video surfaces of a United States Congressman attacking a college student, grabbing him by the wrist, neck, and body, and assaulting another student’s camera.
Rep. Andre Carson wants to change the subject. I don’t blame him. On April 13, 2010 he told AP reporter Jesse Washington, “I think we need to move toward a dialogue that explores why this kind of divisive and reprehensible
