WaPo reporters avoid interviewing Dave Portnoy after he exposed their biased journalism.
Barstool Sports Founder Dave Portnoy Takes on Corrupt Corporate Media
Yesterday, Dave Portnoy, the founder of Barstool Sports, demonstrated how to handle the corrupt corporate media by going on the “offense” and exposing a hit job by The Washington Post. Portnoy cold-called reporter Emily Heil after learning about her planned negative article on his upcoming One Bite Pizza Festival in Brooklyn. He confronted her for using dishonest media tactics.
Portnoy didn’t stop there. He posted the phone call exchange on social media, which quickly went viral with nearly 30 million views. As a result, Heil and her co-writer Tim Carman retreated, protecting their tweets and canceling their scheduled interview with Portnoy.

Portnoy knew that Heil had been contacting his festival’s advertisers, questioning their support for a “misogynistic racist.” He confronted Heil about this during the call, and she immediately denied it. But Portnoy had evidence. He read aloud an email Heil had sent to one of his sponsors, where she accused him of “misogynistic comments and other problematic behavior.” Caught in a lie, Heil stumbled and later claimed it was just a “standard” media tactic.
Portnoy didn’t hold back. He called out Heil for her dishonesty and motive to destroy his festival by creating a false image of him. He exposed her tactic of shaming sponsors and putting them in a box. Heil’s attempt to justify her actions as “standard journalistic stuff” fell flat.
In a statement following the phone call, Portnoy explained that he has learned not to give an inch when facing hit pieces. Instead of letting the media dictate the game, he decided to speed things up and make them play by his rules.
Portnoy’s offensive strategy worked. He publicly humiliated Heil and Carman, discrediting their journalistic integrity even before their article was published. The public now knows what to expect and can see through their biased reporting.
Despite Heil’s damning email being exposed, she still tried to claim she was engaging in honest reporting. Portnoy called her out, highlighting how she could have asked positive questions about his contributions to the pizza and service industry. Heil’s attempt to end the conversation by inviting Portnoy for an interview the next day was seen as insincere. Portnoy pointed out that if she truly wanted his perspective, she would have reached out to him in a fair manner.
Although Portnoy eventually agreed to the interview, Heil and Carman canceled it after facing public criticism. Portnoy sarcastically expressed his lack of surprise at their decision on Twitter.
“The @washingtonpost just canceled the 10am call. Shocker. They proposed 5pm instead. I said 10am or nothing. They refused. What could suddenly be more important than this? The article has to come out Friday. So they’d leave themselves a few hours before going to print? 🦝🦝”

The Washington Post, claiming to be non-partisan, has a history of deceptive and biased journalism. They attack Christians, homeschoolers, and defend the Biden Administration without evidence. Portnoy’s call to Heil was a rare moment of accountability for the corporate media. They are accustomed to spinning narratives and spreading lies without facing consequences.
But this time, Portnoy took away Heil’s power and credibility. He exposed her tactics and showed the public the truth.
