another company we have not mentioned is buzzfeed. abc has invested $4 million in buzzfeed.hink we will start to see more and more of these old media companies and digital publishers joining forces, because the old media companies want their younger audience and the buzzfeeds of the world really like the money and television. cory: to your point, the buzzfeed deal is a g-route. netflix is a business that is not generate a lot of free cash flow. we might say the same about hulu, we don't know their financials, but right now it is still a drop the market. there are still very high valuations. these businesses can be supported by wall street when they can't support their own operations. that is a thing that could dissuade investments. if the rules of the road were to change with the fcc and netflix's costs would rise, that could affect the evaluation. disney could get a much cheaper deal under different fcc rules. right now, netflix can sustain themselves due to wall street, but not thanks to their own efforts. this prevents acquisitions from happening anytime soon. caroline: g

and buzzfeed had to write about that.e "woman arrested for alleged making a story up new york subway attack," now they discover the word "allegedly," and it was not just buzzfeed, others reported with little kept civil. what made me skeptical how no one on the subway hoped her? i take the subway every da and new yorkers would have helped her. not me because i'm usually drunk but other new yorkers would because they are good people and they know how she feels. next, the city is offering counseling to people stressed out by the fact that donald trump won? homeless are freezing on sidewalks and notes are pushing people in front of subways, the mayor obsesses over hurt feelings of hillary supporters? i would say he is the worst mayor in the world but we already know who that is. ♪ wonderland ♪ wonder. >> he is the worst, believe me. >> so, she tried to suppose islam ma phone i don't attack and assault on a muslim woman but she exposed real hate crime against muslims because her parents hacked off her hair and she showed up in

another company we have not mentioned is buzzfeed.00 million in buzzfeed, and i think we are going to start to see more and more of these old media companies and digital publishers joining forces because the old companies want their younger audience, and the buzzfeeds of the world really like the money that is in television. cory: to that point, the buzzfeed deal is a g route. it is the eighth round. netflix is a business that does not generate free cash flow. we might expect the same thing about hulu. we don't know their financials. we don't know the financials of amazon prime. right now, there is still a frothy market. we will see if businesses can be supported by wall street when they can't support their own operations. that is the thing that could decide investment. if the rules of the road were to change, and netflix cost would rise, that could affect the valuation. disney could get a much cheaper deal. right now, netflix can sustain themselves thanks to wall street. that sort of activity keeps acquisitions from happening anytime

the question buzzfeed is raising is do they.set the stage from the audience, this is the pass for, name is pastor siebert and this is the church the gaines attend. let's listen to what buzzfeed is focusing on. >> this is a clear biblical admonition. so if someone were to say marriage is defined in a different way, let me just say it this way, they are wrong. obviously. truth number one, homosexuality is a sin. the lie, homosexuality is not a sin. the statistics say over 90% of people in a full-blown homosexual lifestyle were abused in some way, physically, sexually, mentally. >> jason, that last one in particular has caused a lot of controversy as just not supported by the facts or the science. your thoughts? >> well, our thoughts are that god's blessings are found within god's boundaries. and when you remove god's boundaries, those blessings are replaced with burdens. true love involves compassion with standards. if you remove one with the other, you don't have love. what this pastor has done is something we encourage other pas

buzzfeed went all in., drunk men yelling donald trump attempt to remove women hijab on nyc subway. that story's got everything. racial tension, white male privilege,pro-trump roots, damsel in distress. why check her claims? why ask questions. why write "allegedly," the story's perfect. except cops couldn't find any witnesses. so they arrest her for filing a false report. and buzzfeed had to write about that. headline, woman arrested for allegedly making a story of ny subway tack by trump supporters. so now they discover the word "allegedly." . getting busy. and it wasn't just buzzfeed. other media outlets reported the story with little skepticism. you know what made me skeptical of the story? the part about how no one on the subway helped her. i take the subway every day. new yorkers would have helped her. not me, because i'm usually drunk, but other new yorkers would, because they're good people and they know how she feels. in fact, the city's offering counseling to people stressed out by the fact that tr

craig silverman is the editor of buzzfeed canada saw this coming. he has been studying the veracity of online news for the past decade. he is in toronto today. nice to talk to you. that this would eventually become a thing, fake news? craig: one of the things i was paying to 10 years ago is actually real news, mainstream media, and looking at the lack of discussion around accuracy and the lack of discussion around fact-checking. that was back in 2004. i started writing about it and researching it and looking at the level of accuracy of main stream media. but as social media really took off and i started to see rumors and tremendous velocity and huge distribution, i started to shift around 2010 or so and started looking at that element and looking at the role of social media and a few years ago did a project specifically about misinformation online. soledad: so 62%, the figure that i just gave out, who get some of their news in some way from social media. it is now a cultural shift, so how can you possibly clamp down on fake news when so many people

we're bringing this exclusive buzzfeed news survey as the story goes live. most americans who see fake news believe it, new survey says. respondents were shown a random selection of six headlines, three true and three false. 70% of the time they thought fake headlines were somewhat or very accurate. 80% of real headlines to be accurate. that's just the tip of the iceberg. joining me to flesh out the numbers the editor of buzzfeed news and wrote one of the greatest stories of the campaign cycle about the town in macedonia that produces fake news or a lot of fake news. what did you learn from this survey? >> well, one of the key things we learned is an answer i think to one of the key questions around fake news in the election was when people encounter it, do they actually believe it? and i was surprised by a 75% number of people believing those headlines. the other thing that really stood out to me is we did really split the numbers between people who said they voted for trump and people who said they voted for clinton. surprisingly more than half the people

buzzfeed was among many who bought this hook, line and stinker. they suspended skepticism and they enabled a lie. what's even worse, she claimed there were so many witnesses but none of them helped. she didn't just waste valuable police time, she smeared an entire city. how stupid must a reporter be to not even question that lie, that no one helped or even took pictures with their camera phone? we at fox, we chased this story. we called the cops. we checked it out. shame on you for not doing the same thing. as for her, everybody will say she has issues. so does the media who make the hoaxes an easy path for attention, even now when reporting this lie, they still claim it's an exception among real attacks, which is another lie. that's our media who take fiction as fact because it fits their assumptions. it's a hate crime against all of us. >> you know what drives me nuts? >> every day, the list is getting long. >> i take the subway every morning. people would have acted up. that was the tell that it was false. >> people would have taken video. that
