| BuzzFeed takes down article about journalist hit with child pornography charges |
| 2023-11-16 |
| [NYP] A BuzzFeed feature story from 2018 about a journalist who told a group of schoolchildren that he was gay was taken down just a day after it was announced that he had been brought up on child pornography charges. Slade Sohmer, 44, the former editor-in-chief of the left-leaning video-driven news site The Recount, was freed on $100,000 bail on Monday after he was charged in Massachusetts court with possessing and disseminating "hundreds of child pornography images and videos." He has pleaded not guilty to two counts of possession of child pornography and two counts of dissemination of child pornography. In May 2018, BuzzFeed News wrote up an item based on a viral social media thread that Sohmer posted to X, the platform that was then known as Twitter. Sohmer’s X account has since been deactivated. The story, which is still available on the Wayback Machine internet archive, was titled "People Are Touched By This Writer’s Conversation With A Bunch of Fourth Graders." |
