Buzzfeed journalists have been told that it is ok for them to call Donald Trump a 'mendacious racist' as id does not conflict with Buzzfeed's rules of avoiding political partisanship on social media. Such rage from a variety of institutions have come about from Trump's aggressive, non factual comments and remarks, as well as actively showing is anti- muslim perspectives. Media in the US and in foreign countries continuously report on Trumps controversial statements, keeping in the public eye. Journalists from the Huffington Post even go to the extent of saying that news about Trump belongs in the same section as news about the Kardashian family and The Bachelorette, completely degrading his position in society.
- Trump has denied he is a racist, telling Fox News last month that he was “probably the least racist person on earth”
- Trump has managed to build a lead despite spending just £217,000 on broadcast advertising, the lowest figure among the leading candidates - Jeb Bush has spent more than £28m but has failed to make a significant impact on the race
- “If Trump’s words and actions are racist, we’ll call them racist. If they’re sexist, we’ll call them sexist. We won’t shrink from the truth or be distracted by the showmanship.”
Buzzfeed's desire to include such descriptions of Trump is considered very respectable to a certain degree as it shows that they are an institution that do not want to sugar-coat anything, and convey their true perspectives to the audience. This makes the company reputed and trusted, which highly attracts a larger audience.
