I loath Senator Menendez as much as any other rational adult.

But we're going to need a better source than a reporter from Semafor. The organization was created by Editor-in-Chief Ben Smith formerly of Buzzfeed.

By all means heap scorn and derision on old Bobby. But I'd prefer a more reputable source for this type of news.

EDIT. You are not the first to comment additional sources. His own office made a public statement hours ago. Read the rest of the thread.

Buzzfeed News is legit news paid for by bullshit lists from BuzzFeed.

Cool. You do you man. I prefer wait for a second source when the first one is anonymous sources paid for by click bait quizzes of "Which Kardashian are you?"

Especially when it's an accusation of a criminal investigation. And I don't think that's unreasonable.

Just a heads up, BuzzFeed news won the Pulitzer for international reporting in 2021. It is a credible news organization.

buzzfeeds news shop was pretty good, it wasn't like listicles and tryguys, it was closer to bbc for a while.
