Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau gets fawning coverage from BuzzFeed, literally.
Last November, BuzzFeed published an article titled: “‘New York'” Magazine Made A Justin Trudeau Paper Doll To Quench Your Thirst.”
The lede of the story was: “The world is still obsessed with Canada’s new prime minister, and the latest issue of New York magazine includes a paper doll of Justin Trudeau that lets you dress him up in a number of different outfits.”
This isn’t the only article BuzzFeed has published about the “thirst” for Trudeau. “Everyone Is Thirsting Over This Photo Of Justin Trudeau Doing Yoga” and “15 Times The Justin Trudeau Thirst Went Too Far” are two other examples.
In the later article, a BuzzFeed reporter describes a tweet saying, “This is truly the first time I’ve ever imagined a Canadian PM fingering me. Thank you, Canada,” as “an admirably honest admission.”
BuzzFeed got the chance to interview the Canadian prime minister, and ended up publishing this article: “Here’s Justin Trudeau Saying ‘Yaaas’ On A Loop For Eternity.”
In another interview opportunity with Trudeau, BuzzFeed came out with the hard hitting piece: “Justin Trudeau Says He’s Developed A ‘Thick Skin’ About His Looks.”
But wait, BuzzFeed once compared Trump to Trudeau in “Donald Trump Is A Very American Version Of Justin Trudeau.” BuzzFeed turned down an ad buy from the Republican National Committee because Trump hurt their employees’ feelings, so would this article affect Trudeau?
Here’s an excerpt: “Where Trudeau started as a dilettante, drama teacher son of former prime minister known for his good hair, Trump started as a TV game show host known for his bad hair. But at rallies they were not just politicians, they were rock stars. They were saviors. Both Trump and Trudeau tapped into deep veins of discontent — for Trump, with Washington elites and, more disturbing, nonwhite, non-Christian Americans; for Trudeau, with an unpopular Conservative government.”
Through extensive research, The Daily Caller was able to find a time BuzzFeed practiced some adversarial journalism. This past May, the website published: “Prince Harry Visited Canada And Out-Heartthrobbed Justin Trudeau, TBH.“
