  1. Damn well everybody’s boy Benny, yeah that is fucked up. Don’t know but don’t trust the moral highgrounded take ever and also not when from sideways head coming out Donnie darko. Dudes head is like regular footed without the skateboard

  2. Okay, I am all for what he stands up for (because I, unlike most of his supporters, got to live through a Communist disctatorship), but the issue remains: is he a plagiarizer or not?

    From his take on calling scammers like "the Saint and the Sinner" a "chad" (which shows he did not do his research, but preffered clicks instead) and other similar things that anyone Conservative would take a double take at (except his loyal supporters that don't care about anything else but "muh tribe" – just like his detractos), he always rubbed me the wrong way.

    So please spare me the manufactured outrage if you find that in you and let's stick to the facts.

    He could very well be a nice chameleon like Owens simping for a bald pimp.

    I just happen to be one of that apparently "not-so-hot-at-the-moment" persons that still think integrity matters above a paycheck. And that you should hold your "side" to an even higher standard than the opposing one.

  3. Oh… this aged well 😂 Buzzfeed is dead and what little is left of it is relying on AI to write its articles now (a million times worse than taking a sentence here or there & forgetting to attribute), while Benny Johnson's star is rising. Eff you Matt Binder. This is why I have you blocked on Twitter. You are a waste of space.

  4. OH WOW out of all the things he said they found 41 SENTENCES scattered out among the volumes he has written.? This clown needs to research plagiarism. Because an occasional sentence doesn't qualify. There is so much stuff out there on the internet that if you look hard enough you can find duplicate sentences. It's a finite language there are only so many ways to say something. If these people at Buzzfeed held themselves to the same standard they would all be out of a job.

  5. I don’t know how true this is because I watch Benny everyday and every time he reports he sources. Maybe this was when 9 years ago ?? Could it be Benny is making a splash now he is a threat to your world? Now, you didn’t even state if it happened either my friend.. Even in your reading you state that it’s not sure if he was let go for this?? But good way to try and make a name..

    And to the commenter who made a statement about views well platforms are a lot different today then when first invented. Most times if you are an individual who trying to make it on their own well , you have to pay to get your stuff heard and seen. Which I don’t agree with the way algorithms are made today…

    Everyone no matter status should be able on the internet to have high visibility..

    Celebs and corporations just took us over here as well. We need a platform that will honor the people…

  6. Look it this kid 😂 looks like a kid with a beard 😂 maybe someday you’ll grow into that beard 😂 😂 Benny is the man these days and look into Joe Bidens 88 campaign lol lol lol lol and his lies as well

  7. I already knew Benny cheats on his wife hooking up with men, now I’m learning he’s a plagiarist who used to work for Buzzfeed. Can’t get much more hypocritical.
