Twice in one day, President-elect Donald Trump compared himself to the victims of Nazi persecution. The first instance was in one of his infamous tweets, responding to two very different media reports, by CNN and BuzzFeed, about intelligence briefings given to Trump last week regarding his relationship with Russia. . “One last shot at me,”…
Buzzfeed editor-in-chief has spoken: calling Donald Trump a racist is no longer a breach of journalistic integrity. In a memo sent out on Tuesday, Smith told his staff that they are henceforth permitted to refer to Donald Trump as racist — as fact, rather than opinion — on social media. According to Politico, the memo was…
Members of the French branch of the far-right Jewish Defense League attacked a prominent French journalist outside the Paris offices of the Agence France Presse news agency. Armed with batons, dozens of violent Jewish activists who had gathered to protest the news agency’s Israel coverage, assaulted David Perrotin, a reporter for BuzzFeed, on Thursday evening,…
Andy Samberg, nice Jewish boy and funny man, turned 37 today. To celebrate,some yearbook photos of the comedian, courtesy of Instagram user Judith Horn. Two words: THAT. HAIR.

It’s hard to imagine such a quiz being published outside of the realm…
Another day, another Buzzfeed Jewish-centric video. And much like their other chosen productions, it’s incredibly Ashkenormative. “11 Things Jewish Friends Just Get” tells the tale of two nominally Jewish ladies, who have to stick together in the face of incredibe goyish ignorance. Thank God someone in this room understands what “schlepping” means, amirite? Aside from…
Buzzfeed’s latest taste-test video. What are those wacky Jewish people eating now? That seems to be the question addressed in the latest of BuzzFeed’s “Americans Try…” video series, which shows an assortment of perky young tasters sampling a variety of unfamiliar foods. This time, it’s Israeli packaged snacks, which appear to be more of a…
If your signature dish can be mistaken for cat food, you’ve got a problem. Or that’s what Buzzfeed’s most recent experiment would have you believe. They got “random people” (aka non-Jews) to try classic Jewish foods for the first time and recorded their reactions. The response to gefilte fish? Gag. To kugel? Gag. To matzo…
