“Paleazeee”

Gotta tell ya. When it comes to a waisted online journalistic experience, The Daily Beast is less than a waist of time. For the fact that if your gonna go online with any type of story, at least the hell make it a readable article, not some kinda whore $#*! experience where one is left at the end of road in a Pay To Play Situation. Cuz I gotta tell Ya, there is much much very more free journalism on line that literally smokes The Beasts article from hour to hour. If I want to pay to read I'll throw my money at real writer journalists, no some off the skid's garbage $#*! rag. See ya

“What the new America thinks "News" is.”

Horrifically biased click-bait site. I would be hard pressed to find anything pertaining to objective reporting, or an accredited writer that could slap two sentences together without the hyperbole of an angry 16 year old on Twitter. There is no news. This is their formula: 1. Throw a dart at a board full of anything Republican, right wing, conservative, or not-left-extremist 2. Not investigate any of the details but rather pick the opposing view to the extreme 3. Write it out like you're reviewing a punk rock concert 4. Give it a catchy title that will attract young, impressionable youth to read the title, but not look any further. 5. Give it some wild claims further down for the idiots who are now young adults and still believing this is reality 6. Post it under "News" 7. Rinse and repeat.

I thought that National Enquirer was a bad publication, but man oh man, these people top it off! How do people even read this? Your bias has to be on another level to able to confirm it reading this garbage. This is extremely detrimental to our society, we need to get rid of publications like this. We are supposed to believe now that if democrats lose in 2022 it isn't due to bad public policy, corruption, extreme views or plain old a total disconnect from what the masses want, no, it's because Putin interfered in the elections! Give me a break! Who believes this doodoo?

Tip for consumers:
Don’t, that’s my tip for others who want to use the Daily Beast as a trustworthy news source…just don’t. We need to wipe out these sort of hurtful publications if we want to grow and evolve as a society.

Biased and not worth reading. Out of thousands of peaceful, beautiful people fighting for fair elections in the US, the Daily Beast picks out one sign to label the entire group as racist. It is disgusting. Fails to mention how Antifa and BLM thugs were attacking innocent elderly people.
Avoid this media outlet completely. Communist rag

After reading for over 2 months I have unsubscribed due to how biased they are. If you're going to write a daily news letter for all, keep the political opinions away. The articles are not necessarily opinionated, but may be far fetched and obviously favor one party over the other.

If you were ever wondering the race/skin color of every named person in an article this website is exactly what you are looking for.

If you want actual news that isnt an opinion piece then stay away.

I just ran across this site today and article after article is nothing but their opinion on wanting to get people to side with them. It's not journalism, it's hardly an opinion site. It's them snarkily complaining about EVERYONE that doesn't agree with them. It's a site solely with the purpose of perpetuating hate.

If you refuse to be interviewed, they make up nasty stuff. Very vindictive. Very personal. Just a personal blog and not a vetted news site or revered opinion site. Sad. There is nothing of value to be gleaned from this site

Bought Whitesmoke editing program from The Daily Beast store. Program did not work correctly. I contacted Support Heroes (Daily Beast support). Received a reply that the vendor would have to respond. Few days later vendor sends them an email which they forward to me saying: "Is the customer using a firewall? May have to re-install." Well I re-installed, the program still did not work. I get a pop up saying too many downloads. So the product is totally worthless; $79 down the Daily Beast drain (pockets). I have sent several emails to Support Heroes and no response. I asked for a refund, no response. I read that they do not offer refunds... ok... so I ask just for a bit of help to get the program working... no response. I get the impression that DBS just doesn't care. And since Whitesmoke sold the program at a deep discount, they don't care either... I bought quite a few things from DBS, but no more!

This is an insult to unbiased news period. All I ever hear is hateful references to Trump and conservative voters.
What happened to actual news, anyone? If I want to hear some grump old guy $#*! about his hamburger not being big enough I'd go to a restaurant and listen to the cook.

The Daily Beast is the king of media "disinformation" as it pushes an extremely progressive narrative under the guise that they are presenting news. The fact that so many read and believe it as if it were the Gospel is a sad comment on the culture of today's society.

Let's give the daily beast a taste of their own "Cancel Culture" medicine...
You see, it can work both ways... You accuse innocent free-thinking decent people of being "alt-right" and try to silence and shame them but people are sick of the likes of you trying to silence free speech because the views or lifestyle not align with YOUR political dogma.
So, as a moderate member of society, I see these "cancel culture" views clearly & openly expressed by the daily beast as extremely dangerous, equally as dangerous as many far-right viewpoints.
Shame on you, you are nothing but EXTREMISTS

When I feel bad about myself, I just think about all the people that read The Daily Beast. I have no idea how this is a legitimate media outlet. It's the real life news equivalent to the radio stations in GTA; if I didn't know better I'd think it was satire. Nonetheless, I'm sure readers of The Daily Beast enjoy sounding out the headlines between the breaks they take to clean the drool off of their chins.

How uninformed your reporters are (including,@JustinBaragona). Without any validity you spew lies in ink. How foolish anyone would be to read your articles and believe a word of it. My Pillow and Mike Lindell represent the millions of Patriots who have been silenced in the USA today. Your ignorance on the subject of free speech and our first amendment rights knows no bounds. Your lack of research, arrogance, and gall to report news without one iota of investigation is a travesty. Tune into Frankspeech.com to watch Absolute Truth & Absolute Interference to educate yourself!

They will cheat you! Signed up for NextSock, a 3 month subscription where a couple pair of socks are sent out for 3 months. Paid $24 on Pay Pal because I didn't want a rag like this to have my credit card info. After they got payment, they informed me that the invoice number they assigned needed to be entered with a 3rd party that would actually send the socks out. BUT WAIT... In order to do that, the 3rd party DEMANDS you give them your credit card info.
Quote: "The $24 was not paid to us and you will not be charged when entering your credit card information you will only be charged if you choose to continue your subscription after your prepaid term."

Sure, after they screw me out of $24, I'm going to now give them my credit card info... How delusional are these maggots? Oh, and did I mention that there are "NO REFUNDS"? These people are sleazy internet criminals. Don't even think about doing business with them!

Just read my 1st thing put out by the daily beast what a piece of garbage. Your staff needs to learn what class is. Michelle Obama wore some nice things but for the most part she was pretty frumpy. You didn't mention Hillary but she was a fashion disaster. Jill Biden knows how to dress like a lady and although once in a while her clothes make you say what is up with that outfit for the most part she looks great. You did fail us by not mentioning how our vice president who always looks like crap and wouldn't know how to dress nice if she tried. Mrs. Desantis wore what was appropriate for a motorcycle ride and she dresses nicely and appropriately. She is a pretty woman and looks good in whatever she throws on.Melonia trump was a total show stopper in anything she wore. You sounded like a woman who could only dream about looking half as nice as mrs. Desantis or mrs.Trump.

There is nothing worse than a so-called 'business' or 'company' that claim to 'go after bullies in politics and to be unbiased', however, they ARE the bullies and extremely biased. I don't have to say which side of the political road they favor. And, if it is THAT evident, they should not be trusted as any sort of 'news' at all. Just a bunch of biased, angry and opinionated fools. When I see a real news entity NOT always attacking the POTUS in a negative way, whether it be obvious or passively aggressive as does 'The Daily Beast', I tend to appreciate getting the facts and forming my own opinion. Their name (daily beast) suits them very well.

I read an article about the terrible plane crash that occurred in VA on Sunday. The title is "Crashed Plane Behind D.C. Chaos Owned by Big-Time MAGA Donor Couple". How pathetic? These people lost their daughter, 2yr old grand daughter, nanny & pilot, and all you care about is what party they donate too, & if they support the NRA? Shame on you, Daily Beast!

It's baffling. Today they write how Trump has proclaimed he, himself has ended covid. While I wouldn't put this past him, TDB sites zero evidence and citations to their claims. Meanwhile, the article generated over 3500 upvotes on Reddit. Humanity, especially in the US is seriously de-evolving.

Calling your President a Racist on the first word of the title of your post! First, off he is not a racist and for you to presume or spread lies that he is a racist in your TITLE, it should be illegal. You will get sued and you will apologize for making false accusations and instigating violent riots against the President of the United States.

I don't even think The Daily Beast could even come close to being a legitimate news source. It's so overwhelmingly biased that it actually bleeds into their narrative all the time.

So opinionated to the point that they seem to be spouting fake news at you. This new site is also incredibly intolerant of any views outside of ignorant liberalism.

The annual fee was $35 and jumped to $50 without pre-notice. You can cancel, but only for future billings. Another money, money organization with no customer courtisy or sense of fair dealing.

The rag freely uses the label rght wing to disparage people they do not like. It would be interesting to see a piece in which Democrats are called far left.

I bought an items for@$200 and realized before it was delivered I had made a mistake and it wasn't what I thought it was. I immediately contacted customer service and was told somewhere in the fine print it says certain items are not returnable because the price is so low. The VERY SAME item I discovered is for sale for $90 less at multiple retailers and online. If I could give a negative star rating I would. Plus I will NEVER EVER use them again and will stop reading their site as well.
