that is what buzzfeed is going for.ory, you talk about the buzzfeed ceo, this convergence. right? kind of like old and new media, working back-and-forth. gerry: that is right. buzzfeed has received $400 million in investment from nbc-universal. nbc has also invested $200 million in vox media. we saw disney invest in maker studios. there has been this old media/new media romance going on a few years now, and buzzfeed is very much at the center of it. oliver: the millennials group right now, and in general, always the 18 to 34's, a very prized, targeted range for advertisers. as other companies decide how to shift their material for that group, i feel like buzzfeed is uniquely positioned, because they are the group. i do not think there is any debating that jonah peretti is a very smart guy, and is obviously leading the front on this. but when you talk about the story about what the office looks like, it does sound just like a bunch of millennials run wild. kind of letting them do what they want. they had studios set up w

lets go on to buzzfeed.ere is a story that's interesting, talking about the fact that a number of people who are missing presumed dead as a result of the grenfell tower disaster all ended up in a small, concentrated number of flats. it seems that as the fire took hold beneath them, the people at the top of the block went upwards and outwards, hoping to escape the fire. although the police have managed to talk to at least one person from 106 flats lower down in the block, and they know that among those flats, 18 people died, they say they have not been able to locate anybody alive from the top 23 flats. they don't know how many people were there for many reasons. they don't know how many people moved up. they know that a number of the flats were being sublet, and the council have no record of how many people were in those flats. they also don't know how many people were staying over as guests for ramadan. there are a lot of conspiracy theories, because there are lot of conspiracy theories and mistrust of the

kennedy: "buzzfeed" says they have five defense department sources who are say telling them the samehing. my question is, is this a sign that the white house doesn't trust the state department and department of defense? >> the civilian department of defense and a handful of other government organizations are still staffed at fairly significantly high levels with folks from the previous administration. so the idea that perhaps there are folks in there who aren't aligned with the current administration again isn't a surprise. if this is a self-inflicted wound from the white house, they are slow walking their inability to if i these various positions. it's a problem of coordination and understanding of how the machinery need to work in washington. this is a continuation of the red line that they established after that early april chemical weapons attack by the assad regime in which we launched 59 missiles at the responsible air base in syria, this an extension of that saying you can't do this. the world frankly agrees, you would hope, that you can't allow it to stand. but way mean is, t

1%, 1% of the nearly 3600 dispensaries in the country are black-owned, according to reporting by buzzfeedto emphasize that as a minister, apart from an occasional cigar, i'm a nonsmoker, but i'm more interested in justice than judgment. and earlier this week, we learned that attorney general jeff sessions now wants to prosecute medical marijuana dispensaries in states where it has been legalized. this at the same time he wants to reinstate mandatory minimums for nonviolent drug offenders, hackening back to a pre-obama drug war that decimated black and latino communities. so whether it's pot shops or prison sentences, people of color have to be a part of the conversation about marijuana's future instead of just targets of the drug war's past and present. joining me now is wanda james, a former consultant to barack obama and the first african-american woman to own a legal marijuana dispensary. wanda, let me begin by going to one of the issues that really got me involved, because i'm not a weed smoker, not in that at all. don't preach it, but i think that people should not be incarcerated fo

stemmed from that famous dossier of allegations against trump and his campaign that was published by buzzfeed in january. graham and grassley are basically implying that dossier of material is unproven and suspect. they are implying with this letter that the fbi's whole investigation of the trump campaign is based on that dossier and therefore, it's all suspect, the whole fbi investigation is suspect. i also noted last night that conservative media have started this week to go after andrew mccabe, who is the acting director of the fbi. he has been acting director of the fbi since the president fired james comey. i gave you that heads up last night that this new strategy was taking shape, these republican attacks on the fbi, basically to give that heads up so you should know to be on the lookout for the stuff coming down the pike. even though i gave that heads up last night, i was surprised myself at how fast it sort of all came to fruition. because today there is this new letter from chuck grassley to the justice department. this one alerts the deputy general rod rosenstein. about andrew mcca

this is a headline, buzzfeed. trump's lawyers met in pairs to avoid lies. he was -- they had to meet in pairs because he was so difficult with the truth. is the approach to go after comey and villainize him, it strikes me as essentially their only play at this point and will be able to consolidate some part of the base that's still there with him. >> look, they'll have the cuckoos and the weirdos that believe that hillary clinton ran a child cannibal sex ring. but this isn't a battle of per m sepgs he can win with robert mueller, who trusts james comey, who has relied on james comey for many things in the past and vice versa. he's going to look at this and a lot of things that trump has now said, walked himself into the trap in the rose garden today, opened himself up to being questioned on a lot of these things. this isn't some real estate litigation. this is the real deal. these are the big boys. these are the guys where you end up in an orange jumpsuit if you lie. >> this is a really important point, i think, because trump has been under deposition many
