Buzzfeed released a dossier of compromising information about Trump, so he called Buzzfeed a “failing pile of garbage,” and CNN “fake news.” John Furlong has been reinstated as a UBC keynote speaker. Jon Kay’s mother is an MRA supporter, so naturally he failed to disclose this in a sympathetic piece about MRAs in The Walrus.
