Barstool's Dave Portnoy got word that two Washington Post reporters were working on a story and had contacted sponsors of his upcoming event, and you'll soon see that it was a clear attempt to shame them into no longer being sponsors:
So, I caught wind that the Washington Post was proactively reaching out to the sponsors of my Pizzafest on Saturday and trying to shame them for being associated with me. I believe the legal term for that is “tortious interference” Anyway what I’ve learned over the years with these types of hit pieces is that can’t give an inch. So rather than just sit back and let them dictate the pace of the game I decided I'd speed them up and make them play by my rules.
Portnoy then contacted one of the so-called journalists. What took place next was several minutes worth of why trust in the media is at an all-time low and still falling.
Watch the whole thing and you'll see several reasons why "journalism" is beyond repair:

BWHA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! Portnoy absolutely nails this lying bitch to the wall with the pointed truth and she can't deal with it. ROTFLMAO!
"This is kind of standard journalistic stuff."
"Unfortunately, yes."
Exactly! More "reporters" should be confronted like that.
Ben McDonald (@Bmac0507) ~ This reporter is so bad at her job it's sad.
WaPo's Emily Heil: "I never said you were misogynistic."
Portnoy: "I have the e-mail."
WaPo's Emily Heil: "Well, I said it one time cause I wanted them to email me back."
Amazing, and there's so much standard "journalism" in that clip -- which is the entire problem.
Stephen L. Miller (@redsteeze) ~ How it's done.
Chaya Raichik (@ChayaRaichik10) ~ THIS IS THE WAY. 🔥 The media is the enemy of the people and deserve to be clowned and exposed!
MAGA Barbie (@MAGABarbie317) ~ Bravo sir! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Storm Paglia (@storm_paglia) ~ The Washington post is a slanderous liberal rag and this “reporter” @emilyaheil is a hack activist.
Brian Doherty (@BDOH) ~ Activist journalism at the Washington Post on full display. Portnoy should tweet the e-mail with the e-mail address and salutations taken out.
Portnoy asked WaPo's Emily Heil when she planned on contacting him to get his side of the story and she responded, "We were planning on doing it tomorrow morning." BWHA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! It is painfully obvisou that Heil NEVER HAD ANY INTENTION OF REACHING OUT TO Portnoy. He knows it ... she knows it ... and she knows that he knows it. You are so busted, you sleazy lil' WaPo hack.
