Editor Of Toronto Blog That Tried To Cancel Dave Portnoy Leaves Him Speechless
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 เม.ย. 2022
- We are joined by the editor of BlogTO, a publication that upon hearing of Dave's arrival in Toronto, proactively reached out to pizza places that had offered Dave an invite and detailed false accusations that had been made against Dave. This leads to a discussion about why this was written, where the negative angle came from, and a moment that leaves Dave without any bullets left in the gun.

Does she have top teeth?
Absolutely disgusting! This editor is trying to force a narrative, and cornering small businesses that have been struggling during the pandemic to follow suit with their moral compass.
This is exactly what is wrong with main stream media, and their cancel culture. This editor is beaming with that mindset. F these old mediums!
Any woman with a 12 year old or squeaky voice is bad news nuts.
Her due diligence to possibly ruin a small business? Wtf is wrong with these people. Da Prez, El Presidente can litterly double a businesses Business? Pretty sad commentary on life today.
@@zachX6452 That's the first thing that crossed my mind when she started speaking lol!
This publication basically tried to guilt trip and guilt shame local pizza businesses into not letting Portnoy try their food products. That isn’t cool or right.
Correct, that right there goes beyond getting “rage clicks”.
She was not doing our due diligence she was being a loser and trying to start something to get a story
Its a federal crime in the states
True and I agree what she did was wrong however I have a lot of respect for them coming out and defending their points and statement to the actual person and not just a msg online. So I dont agree with what she did but good job to her for coming on the show and still doing this. So give credit where its do. Also I'm canadian not that it matters but I feel that this was a cordial discussion and thats what we need more of, not fighting.🤙😁
@@anthonygiustini6024 Only a Canadian would think that being cordial while disrespecting someone is alright.
The way the article is written shames any restaurant that allowed him to do the review as a restaurant who supports a bad person. Simple as that! People in media are thirsty scumbags! It never ceases to amaze me.
She is in total backpedal. They wanted it to be about them and their virtue.
Chill out dude
do you consider barstool to be "people in the media"?
This way their true intention.
They wanted to expose businesses that aren't lock step with their cult.
*LESS WORDS: DEMOCRATS. TRUMP 2024*
She exactly explains what’s wrong with the media, they don’t want to put you in a good light and talk about the good you do for businesses, but instead want to only make a controversial story that isn’t even true
He handled this extremely well. Makes me respect him even more. 🙌
Dave isn’t the victim here, the victims are these local businesses being pigeonholed and essentially threatened when presented with an opportunity for life changing exposure. Pretty shitty
Absolutely. The author was trying to scare businesses away from him.
They can both be the victim.
Dave, does what he does, rate Pizza, to hell with the owners, put a quality pie out there and you won't get a crap ass score.
@@kupski1964 that had nothing to do with my post
Life Changing Exposure 🤣🤣🤣
She’s the perfect politician, knows how to deflect a question and contradict herself at the same time
He
Isn’t that blog a form of hate speech? It upset Dave based on the unsubstantiated comments made about him
lots of fake ass people like that in Toronto's west end
That's the exact issue with "journalism" these days: they're almost all political activists.
Ya she only makes stuff worse using bad news. She would be great in government
i really appreciate the dude in the top right being there for this.
I love her response of “we just the widdle guy and you big pizza celebrity, we didn’t know we couldn’t do that”
Dave's face when she admitted it's all about rage clicks was amazing.
That pretty much what everything is about.
@Tony G lol you think liberals invented click bait 🤣
@@ANTIStraussian no we just know that they feed off hate and it's funny how predictable they are.
@@onedayatatime007 if I had a dollar for every illegal immigrant kills blonde girl story fox news ran I'd be rich
@@ANTIStraussian sounds like you need to work on protecting those borders then..
This was the definition of a hit piece. I mean she’s right, controversy sells and she’s owning it to some degree. We shouldn’t be calling the writer of this article a “journalist” though. Can’t have it both ways
SHE?????
@@goodoleboy83 She better hope she only has a few skeletons in her closet otherwise Dave has the resources, reach and influence to SMASH HER if anything really bad comes out about her! 🤔
I can't figure out if she's a he or what!?
Wait maybe it is a dude
@@goodoleboy83 lol you beat me
I'm from Ontario and I'm actually shocked that Dave would even take the time to acknowledge these losers when 99% of their "reporting" is just copy/pasting a post they found on reddit or facebook... It's like Canelo Alvarez inviting a heckler in the crowd to have a press conference with him. Dave doesn't even realize this is the highlight of her life because it's the first time anyone with a following has acknowledged their website as a real source of information. That's why she agreed to come on, because BlogTO is so small that this is the biggest moment in their entire "journalism" career.
You are not from Toronto so stay out of it ok fine you got it.
@@jeffbell9391 Hey, can toronto not be from Ontario and stay out of it too?
@@MadAlhazred born and raised in toronto, so what's your problem?
The biggest thing I took from this is that BlogTo actually have editors. Every article is full of grammatical mistakes, and written poorly. It's trash.
@@jeffbell9391 people can give their opinions on things and not be from a specific place. You have no right to tell them to stay out of it
Love you Dave!!!! Keep doing what you are doing and being OUR voice!!!!!💞
I’m glad she actually admitted that at the end of the day they needed the click bait title to get it running.
Simple as that. Nothing wrong with calling it out. Dave should call it out every time.
To be fair writing the article is one thing but calling these restaurants and leading with that and not mentioning how many small businesses he’s literally stopped from closing down is pretty shitty
Total badass. Protected her chickens
Well it's smart on her end to do that. You can't blame someone for being that way. Business is Business for some people.
I actually think that's moral to admit. Especially since its osmething I've never even heard of so they're obviously not massive. They need anything they cna get.
@@Plague_Doc22 they are still operating a dishonest business model that exploits the well being of others to their advantage. Immoral and manipulative trash
The writer needs to know that as a writer you should be held accountable for what you say. Having your name taken off the article and having to have your boss defend the article and the outlet is the definition of a young 'woke' writer
No, it isn't, mate.
@@JohnJones-wo1bc Ya, it is, woke mate.
@John Jones you crawled out of nutty putty cave just to come on TH-cam and defend SJWs?
@@FirstLast-sw1gx Not at all. I just do not agree with the statement. One thing does not prove the other in this case. It is not a logical statement.
@@izg2383 define what woke means to you
One other thing I would add when talking to these "journalists" is I would ask them this question: Hypothetical question? Say you get yourself a job interview with a major media company with a big pay raise and I am a "journalist" and I call that company before your interview and ask them how they feel about this "controversial" "journalist" whom some claim is racist, sexist etc. coming to interview for work at your company? That would almost certainly cause that company to reconsider the offer which is essentially what they did to you and it is journalistic malpractice and incredibly unethical as well in my humble opinion! I love your content Dave keep up the good fight!
She said she didn't think Dave was going to see the article. That says it all.
“We didn’t intentionally smear you.” “Well, yeah, controversy and rage get clicks. So, that’s what we were trying to do.”
Her entire position is, “we’re trying to make money so it’s okay.”
His next response should be, “well I’m not trying to get her harassed, I’m just reporting what happened, her name is …
Nah, wouldn’t be a good look, even though they used negativity to get views, after her being open and honest about it, which regular people already know and can see through, if he did that, regular people would know and see through the fact that he would do that just to be petty, and for her to get harassed… while he will go to war with someone, he’s not going to punch down like that because it doesn’t gain him anything, especially after they admitted they were being negative on purpose for the clicks, getting her to admit the truth and accepting that respecting that and moving on is the best thing he can do, if he keeps going and sends his fans to harass the writer, it then spins the story back into a negative light, which would causes more media companies to write about how terrible of a person he is, and how he will weaponize his fans to go after any media company if he feels slighted, and does so in a child like petty way, which he couldn’t argue against if he did that.
B--- is a trash publication, nobody who's actually from Toronto seems to be involved since there reports are ridiculous.
I think the editor told the truth that almost every “ journalist” understands. Journalists are not respected, and this is a piece of the reason. But it sure was honest, so I give her a lot of credit for that. I think she will make better decisions in the future. As will the reporter. I hope.
He doesn’t know her name , he’s just pretending he does so he can play the good guy by not saying it
Her answer was so spot on: We wrote the negative stuff because it gets clicks… nails the head on what’s wrong with media. So great to hear someone in the media say that.
Maybe it’s what wrong with people and not media. Media is a business, it’s the consumer who has the power to dictate.
@@jasonjeffordsiii7941 No I like it being their fault and not mine 😤
@@kadendunk5300 I think a lot of people feel the same why. Personal responsibility is not easy.
I clicked on this because of the headline … Part of Daves appeal is because he’s controversial / he’s making money out of this and so is she … and we get content as a result.
It's spot on in the way the mask comes off revealing what we already knew... She is essentially groveling in the end asking about pizza places he should try...
Awesome interview. Strong people are fearless, truthful people are blessings.
Came across this video this evening. Much respect Mr Portnoy calling out the truth... Even more respect for Mr Portnoy having a respectful conversation with the editor and after the truth came out was MORE of a gentleman than most anyone i know ...
She’s being very dishonest. She knows that the journalist was trying to stir the pot and make herself look famous for “exposing” him.
She's perfect for CNN.
Better role for her would be at Fox
@@TheJgoodwin74 Nah, Fox only likes unbias people, she should try CNN.
@D2M5 Hard to be mad at her for telling the truth though. All about the clicks. CNN would never admit that they don't believe half of what they say.
@D2M5 I'll take that over CNN that doesn't even acknowledge their filth. The article sounded like trash that could have and should have included Dave's good work. No excuse for the writer there.
"We focus on food, but we bring up something un related to completely politicize it." BlogTO is utter garbage... love from Toronto Dave
she totally bullshitted, it's pretty obvious they only presented the one negative aspect to the stores, clearly, they had an agenda, now they are backtracking.
The Dave pizza situation is so dumb, restaurants declining him service because he’ll bring positive or negative light to it. You could be whoever and walk in to a pizza joint, they’ll serve you pizza. Fame hurts
Canada doesn't have Chick-fil-A because woke people, their loss.
He said it was a good answer but it wasn't. It was an honest answer, but complete trash journalism was obvious, we all know what they were trying to do. Only response to that is I that I hope Blog T.O readers understand they are trying to be emotionally manipulated into getting a negative rise out of someone for clicks for advertisement revenue. Great answer.
Where do you see politics in this??
The article on the blog is still up 😂😂
Wow! This lady says “controversy sells”, “we didn’t even think you’d read it”, basically all excuses, but regardless, honesty.
She said the quiet part out loud, they don’t care about honesty, integrity, journalism. It’s about clicks, truth be damned.
No. She gave an honest answer as to why they portrayed Dave in a negative light. They didn't lie about Dave nor did Dave accuse them of lying. Your comprehension isn't very good.
@@MrMancreatedgod imagine shilling for free for mega corps . Pure distilled soy.
@@MrMancreatedgod is this her? LOL nerd. Quite down.
People stopped being willing to pay for journalism. All of us. The public and the rich media owners alike. We all let this happen
It's a blog... It is literally about the clicks.
She's full of it. I live in Canada. Our media are woke liberals. She lead with the controversy because she wanted negative feedback. It was on purpose. No mention of how many good things Dave's done.
woke liberal is a complement just say communist.
Didn't make it to the end, did you mate? With your gnat attention span.
And now the world knows who she is because of DAVE!
Negative emotional responses lead to higher rates of interaction then positive. You can read the facebook study, this was definitely a clickbait/ragebait article.
Except 90% of Canadian news media endorses conservatives during elections. As usual the right wing persecution complex is out in full force..
Dave is definitely a man of the people, this guy must be protected at all cost. We need this guy in our lives!!!!!
wow. much respect Dave! peace n love from Ontario Canada
Gotta give Dave some serious credit for knowing how the game works in that industry and acknowledging that similar tactics have helped barstool go from a small blog community to a global powerhouse. What really sucks is that hate and controversy are what bring in the big click numbers.
I agree. People want the drama. Always have. Social media helps to propel that.
We can help solve this problem fellas. I deleted all my social media apps. Just show everyone you interact with love as if they were yourself.
It might sell for a time but is hate and controversy sustainable?
@@theravagedgrapefruit8190 hopefully not.
@@familytrieserichiltz940 🤞🏻, I’m thinking it is that why you see the mass media going that way. The news is a perfect example of depressing!!!
This lady is everything wrong with our current media/social media!!!!!
Not gonna lie, critics have always been a fucking bad for any type of business. They provide nothing except a personal outlook on how they feel about something and can destroy how others perceive it because of their audience. I stopped reading critics before a movie or game for the most part, but with Dave's audience if he has a bad interaction they will review bomb the place as well putting other's livelihoods at place.
I think any place that doesn't realize the impact his reviews have deserve to know whether or not they should serve him.
She’s not wrong, she’s working for everything that’s wrong. She’s just trying to eat like we all are
True pos
@@morpheusdorpheusorpheusno, she's wrong and she works for everything that's wrong.
She didnt write the story and is just trying to defend her employee. I dont agree with what she said, but i wont say she is what is wrong with it. She said the reporter covered it neutral, which is absolutely wrong. You can do a balanced story of the positives and the negatives, that is neutral.
As a Torontonian I can promise you, nobody reasonable actually cares about what blogTO writes. It's consistently in the news for bullshit articles or statements. It's made a name for itself in profiting on the misplaced and misinformed anger of its readers. Any sane person that read that article (you can still go read it right now, amazingly it's still up) can see that it was a hit piece. idk how she can say what she said in this interview with a straight face while that article is still up for everyone to read. I guess that says a lot about society today, I guess she just assumes people won't just go read it themselves. Anyway, just know there are tons of fans in Toronto, and not everyone here is like the writer or editor of this article.
I love her answer and that Dave acknowledged it. He’s a media guy first and foremost and obviously understand that controversial pieces sell. Win/win for everyone.
If a food blogger is interjecting their personal feelings about a person, and encouraging businesses to deny him access, that’s not doing their due diligence. This blog site epitomizes what’s wrong with the news industry.
So so so true
Blog does click bait, stop the presses!
Agreed. However, the thing most people fail to realize is that sensationalism is a by-product of what consumers want. Media in general wouldn't do this crap if people just ignored it. The job of media in general is to garner eyeballs and that's it. If we continue to consume it, they'll continue to vomit this shit out.
@@rmoultonrmoulton145 Dave comes to town to review pizza sounds like a snooze fest article lol
Vary true
She’s literally trying to destroy you so you can’t go to a pizza joint and has the gull to ask what ones you liked so far?
So cringe, don’t give her approval Dave!

Wow... this had BEEN happening!!! Crazy!!
Dave, you handled this like a champ… this is a perfect example of how much easier it is to speak the truth and just be honest. I’ll tell my kids how hard it is to be mad at someone for being honest, especially when it’s brutal honesty that most would lie about… which most don’t realize how much more respect they would get for being truthful , over the results they would get from trying to hide the truth.Can be counterproductive most the time, and I give you props for your reaction to her truth, you didn’t punish her or make her regret being honest with you. Real recognize real, good on ya!
I’m no portnoy fan but that’s a hit piece. For the reporter to reach out and shame businesses into serving him is NOT journalism, it’s activism against him.
I'm not sure why the editor needs to speak in place of the person that actually wrote the story.
Dave does a good job of pointing out that the journalist posed a biased question to the pizzarias and got a predictable response. An false journalism.
that was an epic interview, she was fighting it for the most part until the end where she had no other choice but to just admit what we all know. daves reactions to those types of responses always make me laugh
What interview did you watch? Literally just a civil discourse. Dave lost if you’re talking about winners and loser 😂😂

Wow she is a PRO in crisis comms. Even flipped on him at the end to change to a “so tell me what pizza is best?” move. She couldn’t care less. You got worked Dave wow.
I agree. There were so many points Dave could have brought up and didn't. She is clearly a terrible human being and she beat Dave at his game
"we glaze over the good aspects to make the story spicey and sharable" way to discredit your entire site and peers with one honest statement, FINALLY.
Good on her for even coming on. Much respect
The problem with her “we’re fighting for clicks” is that the articles have a cascading effect, as demonstrated in this scenario.
When are these people gonna realize, you can’t cancel Dave. They can’t cancel someone that fights back. It’s funny watching them try
Bro you still don't get it? her point was not to slander him she plainly said she wanted to get clicks
Or you can just ignore them
lol no one is trying to cancel Dave. You sheeps always crying about cancel culture.
Canceling is stupid period regardless of who can and can't fight back.
@@MrAtaguas Does not matter what you frame based off of what she says after the fact. Who researches bad rumors about people, then puts companies in a pinch by asking them if they are sure they want to invite someone to eat pizza....
This is basically a veiled threat, saying we are going to write that you support people who do bad shit by inviting them to your business.
This guy is a douche, but look at what journalism has become, it is gross and she is a scumbag who works for a scumbag company.
She calls him an “American Pizza Influencer” he’s worth 150 million dollars. LOL 😂
She said exactly what people called them out for…that media is click bait…and they deserve to get the backlash.
Amazing how quickly that went from "neutral due diligence" to "intentionally negative for clicks."
Ooh that was a quick one ! 😳
Wild. How these people call themselves journalists or editors is beyond me.
It’s always -people- woman journalists… coincidentally🤷♂️
Blog T.O. is literally just above a highschool rag.
This is how they get over on people.
Glad Dave put them on blast.
I think they forget that they’re a fucking blog and not a legit news source
Because they have journalism degrees. That’s like walking to a hospital and saying “I don’t know how these people call themselves doctors” because you disagree with their diagnosis. Her leaving portnoys accusations out of it would’ve been her not doing her job.
10:00 he even agreed what they did made sense. Doesn’t mean you or him have to like it.
Wild how she's got enough backbone to give prez an answer he can't even hate because it was straight facts. Ofc you missed that. That's a world class editor in my book.
I get it, but Dave Portnoy thrives in this world. He endures it, rides it, eats it, dispenses it, facilitates it, loves it. And he grows and grows! He’s like a new multi-interest old school Howard Stern. He can’t be stopped ❤
Good point, in the end she is helping him.
such a sensible conversation :)
Dave’s gonna probably want to give her a job at Barstool after this. 😂
She'll be the new head of Barstool Toronto!
😂😂
The term "due diligence" is basically used to get away with anything in the journalism biz now.
Yeah, when I heard that part I laughed. It's just grubby Twitter hypocrites. I wouldn't even call them journalists.
Hahaha
I just want to say that because of Dave. (Thank you) I discovered Pizza Nostra in Mississauga. This was bs on BlogTO.
The editor "like" says "like" its "Like this" you know "like" I'm an editor "Like" that doesn't use "like" other words. lol
Activists not journalists
9:31…She was honest (and 100% right) and Dave acknowledged it. Well done Prez.
Most sensible free thinking individuals WILL recognize truth. Can’t say the same for “others”.
shes acting like its important to do research by asking restaurants hes planning on going to about the bs?! what could they ever get from that
"Pizza Celebrity" has actually been my dream job since childhood.
Moral of the story is she just interviewed her way to a $250k/year salary offer from Barstool.
She is shifty af, Dave kept asking her same question “why good things weren’t mentioned about me?” and she went from “we didn’t want to throw a pizza guy under a bus” to “we needed to make el presidente controversial for the clicks” without missing a beat, changing her demeanor or a tone of voice as you would when the truth is finally revealed.
And how in the world can she smile and talk without ever revealing her upper teeth, Christ almighty
Reminds me of meth mouth
It helps women make their voice sound deeper. Regularly she probably has a higher pitched voice. Think of it like speaking business
Honestly I respect her. Don’t think she’s shitty af just doing her job.
it doesn't appear that she even has upper teeth
I'm actually kind of surprised she isn't a huge CEO of a mega corporation. Maybe she is too kind hearted or unhinged or some other bad trait as she seems like she is a problem solver on the biggest of scales
Journalist and Journalism professor here. Her tactics are dirty as hell but that's what the majority of journalists like her are focusing on nowadays. I don't teach that kind of reporting; quite the opposite actually. But it's hard to combat that mentality overall.
All in all, it's a shame that they took this avenue with him. If I was the editor of that blog, I would out an article that says "Portnoy Comes to Toronto - Here's the 5 Pizza Spots We Think He should hit", and then followed up with the potential of a collaboration promoting the Barstool Fund etc., taking him on a Pizza tour of the city. They could have gotten the same level of exposure without having the controversy. Hell, it would have put the blog on the map with Barstool fans.
But a lot of journalists like her feed upon the drama and it's sad really. Glad the beef is over though.
Blog to also was posting restaurants that were going under during covid but they weren't ever mention that it was sad. And then went to plenty of chains that were doing paid partnerships with them a lot.
She made the point herself, rage or infuriating content gets clicks. This type of editorialisation is what is driving people apart. Looking for the bad in everything, laser focusing on it and magnifying it. This is what is turning people in society against one another.

This was a fascinating video.
Great video
I don’t give a damn about Dave one way or the other. However, “Journalistic due diligence” is not calling people who have never met the subject of the article to tell them about serious allegations made against him. In no way does that contribute to the content of the story. It’s passing premature judgement, based on what the Zeitgeist is leaning towards, and fanning the flames for views. Which she said. But don’t call it journalistic due diligence in one sentence and in the next breath concede hate clicks sell and that’s why you did it. You can’t eat your cake and have it too.
The real shame is that this is what upcoming journalists believe to be journalistic integrity.
Universal truth is not measured in mass appeal.
As someone who’s worked in both print and broadcast at a time just before the internet, I will confirm that what you’ve written is true. Yes, it’s honorable that she admitted it, but it’s a dishonorable practice to begin with, and she should be ashamed to even be a part of it.
Well said, that's literally the opposite of "journalistic due diligence"
What impresses me the most about @Dave is that he actually took the time to listen to her - even though she and her team perpetuate click bait and absolute bull shit in journalism. Dave and team did a wonderful job.
Clicks Sell.. that says it all and the motivation for the Blog TO article. This is one person's review about cheese pizza, the end!
"We know that hate clicks get traffic.. so what did you expect us to do?"
"damn ... ok..."
This lady started to tell the truth and it was refreshing
The truth being: _"we're smear merchants, basically a low-budget TMZ."_
So toxic that they literally know they’re talking shit about someone and make them look bad in order for them to get more clicks. I hate that Dave said he liked that answer and made her feel like her argument was valid… I guess she’s located in Canada but that method of getting “clicks” by the media is part of the reason of the major divide of people in America… sad I wish she was scolded for that answer
How do you think barstool writes articles? Have you read any of their blogs? All they do is shit on celebrities, never mentioning the positives. That’s why Dave respected that answer, because his company uses the same tactic. And I’m a fan of barstool, but if you can’t see that, your ignorantly blind
she was being honest. its refreshing. thats why Dave not happy he actually liked her answer. doesn't make it right, but let's not pretend we all didn't know that was the intent
Lol bro Dave is in the media and knows and does the same shit. Who cares
Well said. Thought the same exact thing. Dave shouldn't have folded like a lawn chair and me her crappy point feel validated.
@@ToddCrispies he does the same shit thats why he cant knock her for it lol
Just because controversy/rage sells or gets clicks doesn’t make what they are doing right. It is a sad statement on our society.

This chick is honest. She's obviously good at her job. Tough choice to go after el pres but it's safe to say they learned their lesson😂
The fact that she's at least honest about being shady is kind of refreshing lol. 2022
Not an honest bone in a journalists body. They’re all scumbags and they don’t think Dave deserves to eat food in Toronto because of the “allegations.” They wanted to prevent Dave from being served.

@@sceneugh it may be failing but they have gotten more advertisements off the back of this than they ever have. I've never heard of them before this so in that sense they won those points at least
she totally bullshitted, it's pretty obvious they only presented the one negative aspect to the stores, clearly, they had an agenda, now they are backtracking.
I really wish Dave would have said something along the lines of: "I respect that answer, but can you at least admit that intentionally portraying someone in only a negative light just for clicks is pretty messed up?"
She thinks she won because she basically admitted she's a scumbag and that shut him up. Wow, what a world.
I love this exchange, Dave, who is always on the front line, bristling for a fight, constantly on edge, being totally disarmed by someone telling the truth, which is hard to come by these days, nice to see it does happen though.
I love the honesty Mr Portnoy, this is why you have such a huge fan base!
From Toronto and well before this I blocked Blog TO as they are one of if not the most hated blogs/“news” sources in Toronto.
They use dumb headlines and just generally suck all around.
finally someone from toronto. cant stand all these simps in the comments praising her. if they were from our city they would know this rat has destroyed lives with lies many times.
Siri said "pizza influencer"
"We had no intention to do a hit piece on you"....
I believe that.
Imagine lying,on camera,when everyone knows you're lying and you do it with a smile? And that is just the beginning! Wow!
That is really really crazy!
Wow! Respect to both Dave and Blog TO for coming together. Wish the rest of the world could be like that!
Worthless
Kudos to this lady for facing up and calling it what it is.Respect. But for the reporter, you gotta know if you come at the Prez you gotta be willing to face the Army. The man is (rightfully) loved by small biz and pizza shops.
What? This woman is a joke too.
Halfway through she's smart enough to see how Dave sees right through her bs and switches excuses from due diligence to - aye, it is what it is and doesn't even apologize because it's just business. Barstool got to where it is with same biased reporting.
Hey, at least she showed up, unlike the coward blogger who calls herself a journalist.
Thing is though, her answer that floored Portnoy wasn't anything to be proud about: she basically said "controversy sells, so it's in our interests to portray you in the worst way possible, because otherwise we wouldn't be in business".
That's the same thing as saying "hey, when I fight someone, I don't come at them like a man, I sucker punch them, and then when they're on the ground, I kick them in the face and ribs". Now, does that work? Yes. Is it a good thing, or make you a good person in any way? NO; in fact, it marks you as a horrible person.
Effectiveness doesn't mean that you've got any reason to smile or be proud; that person should hang their head in shame.
@@TigerHogan and her teeth are TOTALLY wrecked
Most people have no clue the mob that follows Dave, she still has no right to bring up personal allegations to people who don’t even care, HES JUST EATING FUCKING PIZZA
From Toronto and up till Dave Portnoy mentioned BlogTO, no one here had even heard of them 😂
WOW, she admits her work is nothing but a click rag, which is not journalism. It’s despicable.
The editor did give a legit answer, they are in the click views business, like Barstool, so headlines are controversial. El Prez is innocent, and keeps doing good things for small business. Respect Dave.
she totally bullshitted, it's pretty obvious they only presented the one negative aspect to the stores, clearly, they had an agenda, now they are backtracking.
@@menachr I mean barstool does this all the time too, they don't mention all the positive things about the people they're talking about in blogs and use outrageous headlines to get clicks
That interview made my head explode. I have been blasting the media for where we are at as a country. Literally cashing in on outrage and division. And then she finally says it. It felt like that scene “ Did you order the Code Red”… then she says it, as clear as day… their entire agenda… and there is literally nothing you say other than wow.. speechless.
I mean, you hate clicked this. So she's telling the truth. They are a biz too. Dave knows it.
Exactly. This is why no one trusts the media anymore.
@@kyleconnor2759 right, you wanted to really understand her. Listen to dave. It's the system. You're emotionally invested and the emotions are negative. That's what sells. This is based off you comment not pure spec. That's what I'm talking about. You
@@kyleconnor2759 hey Kyle, be quiet
"I hate that I like that answer" respect from both sides.
"We posed questions that showed you in a negative light, so I'm sorry that you feel like we mentioned you in a negative light."
Wow! That girl is totally unqualified and I would sue them, as well! It is absolutely disgusting how unethically they operate.
Hell yeah! There should be repercussions for dragging El President’s name through the mud like that. I would sue the shit out of her company for allowing unethical publications and slandering.
It sounds like you are describing the entire conservative movement. No values, no conscious hiding behind religion and guns.
Is it actually a woman? There's something odd about her mouth and lips. Looks like a man mouth that's been freshly shaved and generously covered in concealer.
@@FirstLast-sw1gx Are you sure you're not mentally ill?
I was watching her mouth also. I don’t think she has upper teeth.
Imagine thinking you were virtuous while hurting everyone you are pretending to support. That's this 'journalist' and 'editor' in a nut shell.
They could have helped people magnitudes by just pointing out their draconian politicians, instead they attack the one guy that can help those businesses.
finally someone gets it.
*Imagine thinking you were virtuous while hurting everyone you are pretending to support*. That sounds like a description of Dave.
All in the name of the “industry”. This has been the case for ever but social media takes it to another level. If it bleeds it leads so to speak
Nothing deflates an argument faster that hearing the truth....lol
props to her.
I’m not a Dave fan, however mad respect for giving it up to that answer.
It’s comical how you take the name of the “journalist” who wrote the article out of the article. Why does she have the right to have her name taken outt? If she could stand by what was written They would have left her name in it.
They took her name off of it because it was a somewhat unfair piece, and now that portnoy is calling them out, the editor does not want her reporter to be in any situation that might involve lunatics trying to chase her down. We’ve seen enough of that sort of thing. Its a small publication, it wasn’t intended to smear, the writer just isn’t experienced enough to know better. Live and let live.
@@MrJamberee not how I see it but okay
It is apparent they did no due diligence on Dave.
Gossip just destroys people, words matter, life and death is in the power of the tongue
