Buzzfeed Forced To Reverse Course After Attacking Scott Adams
They didn’t do any research.
In the wake of the world famous rapper Kanye West Tweeting in support of Candace Owens and Scott Adams, the leftist media has attacked all three of them. The most vicious attacks have been after Scott Adams, who is most known for creating the “Dilbert” comic strip.
After the situation occurred, Buzzfeed posted an article with the headline “Kanye West Tweeted A Bunch Of Videos By The Trump-Loving Men’s Rights Activist Creator Of “Dilbert”, but were quickly forced to change the headline after pressure on Twitter.
@BuzzFeedBen, you realize that this headline is false right?
Kanye tweeted a bunch of videos but after that your editor approved a completely false headline.
Why?

I got @BuzzFeed to change their headline about @ScottAdamsSays.

The truth of the matter is, their original headline was entirely false, with the exception of the part about him being the creator of the “Dilbert.” While Scott Adams admires Trump for his prowess in persuasion, he is by no means in “far-right,” or a “men’s rights activist.”
In fact, Adams has been vocally critical of the men’s rights movement, and considers himself “left of Bernie Sanders on the political spectrum.”
Fake news Buzzfeed thinks I’m a men’s rights advocate because I mocked the men’s right movement once in a blog post. Good work. https://t.co/jlfi9IgkuO

But even with the corrected headline, Buzzfeed still minimized the accomplishments of Adams, who has a long history of successful ventures, including being a New York Times best-selling author and film star.
Scott Adams is a
– #1 NY Times best selling author
– Multiple NY Times best selling author
– World-famous comic strip creator
– Start-up founder
– Film starNow look at this headline.

Their characterization of Adams is highly disrespectful, and just proves that saying even one good thing about President Trump is enough for universal disdain by the left-wing media.
