Yesterday, Barstool Sports\u2019 founder Dave Portnoy gave a masterclass on how to \u2064handle the corrupt corporate\u200c media<\/a> by going on the \u201coffense\u201d and thwarting a Washington Post\u2062 hit job. After learning \u200cabout the looming negative\u2063 Post article by reporter Emily \u200cHeil on his Brooklyn, New York One Bite Pizza\u2062 Festival<\/a> scheduled for this Saturday, Portnoy cold-called Heil and confronted her for using dishonest\u200d media tactics.<\/p>\n

Portnoy posted his phone call\u2064 exchange with Heil on X (formally known as Twitter),\u2064 and the video has since\u2063 garnered nearly 30 million \u2064views.\u200d Since then, Heil and her co-writer Tim Carman have\u200b cowered away, protecting<\/a> \u2064 their tweets<\/a> and canceling<\/a> their interview scheduled for this morning \u200cwith \u200dPortnoy.<\/p>\n
