Yeah. Don't trust it. Reading it for entertainment is fine, but just like you wouldn't trust the super right wing medias don't trust buzzfeed or huffpost with your life.
Whenever I read a story on Huffpo or The Blaze I always check their sites articles. It is really funny when they cite the same AP release and both spin it a different direction.
(150 sources, half of which you didn't read, because let's face it we all look at the pictures and summary)
(I can't reply to the unklethan because that reply button is playing hide and seek, but there are other means to find an article than paying crazybucks for it, like #Icanhazpdf, or just a research with "filetype:pdf" can give good results... or sometimes if you contact the authors they'll give you the article without charging you for it^^)

Or you cite the abstract to avoid paying for the whole article
Agreed but let's not pretend like InfoWars or Fox are held to any higher standards. Just look at multiple sources to assess what's probably true and what's probably a biased narrative.
I agree, there are people who only criticize one side like BuzzFeed or HuffPost without mentioning Fox or InfoWars and vice versa. I guess for many it's more about pushing an agenda than really looking for truth.
