OutKick’s Tomi Lahren weighed in on Washington Post reporter Emily Heil’s report regarding the news outlet’s piece on Barstool Sport’s Dave Portnoy’s One Bite Pizza Festival that occurs on Sept. 23 at Maimonides Park in Brooklyn, NY.
The Post wrote a detailed story about Portnoy’s impact on some of these Pizzierias through his reviews. Furthermore, businesses participating in the festival were accused of supporting a man with a history of sexual misconduct and offensive language that he defended as jokes.
Nonetheless, before the piece ran, Portnoy got ahead of the story, to which Lahren applauded his actions. Additionally, Lahren believes that Heil wrote the story as a hit piece and noted that journalism is dead because of stories like these.
“This isn’t your grandfather’s Woodward and Bernstein era Washington Post,” Lahren wrote for OutKick. “These are activists with MacBooks and it couldn’t be more obvious. But Dave was smart and savvy enough to not only play their game but body them in the process.
“This Emily gal deserves the inevitable and lasting internet and social media embarrassment that will forever be associated with her byline. Play stupid games and win stupid prizes. Those are my Final Thoughts.”
