Buzzfeed, Denied Credentials for Pope Visit, Calls it 'Retaliation' for Previous Coverage

Buzzfeed has been blocked from covering the Pope’s visit to the United States, Buzzfeed claims in a letter to officials in the Archdiocese of Washington, D.C.   The letter, addressed to Don Clemmer, Interim Director of Media Relations at United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, and Chieko Noguchi, a spokesperson for the Washington Archdiocese, is a result of the archdiocese’s antipathy toward one of Buzzfeed’s reporters.
