Buzzfeed have been called out by the POTUS as distributing fake news since they had reported a story which had talked about the Russians and their co-operation in the US Presidential Elections. This would highlight the potential areas in which Buzzfeed have been considered fake news after being reviewed by the president.

In my opinion, i think that this story, although tries to see why we have President Trump, has shown what would be considered as a great conspiracy on one end to what would be considered truth to the other as this would be dependent on the political stand point of the reader. This would be because if they prefer right wing politics, then this would mean that they would believe what President Trump says. However if the reader is a left winger, then this would mean that they would most probably believe in what BuzzFeed had said.
