News outlet HuffPost — previously known as the Huffington Post — laid off 39 staffers on Wednesday, a move that follows parent company AOL's acquisition by telecom giant Verizon.

...

The layoffs also included several reporters in HuffPost's Washington, D.C., bureau. HuffPost senior politics editor Sam Stein described the layoffs on Twitter as "a very difficult day."

HuffPost is "also a business, with all that entails," Stein wrote.

Oh yeah,, the business of being a leftist rag and working OT to impeach Trump.

We'll see how Verizon plays the game.. and if they grow or will their latest venture wither away and stay the course when it comes to reporting and not making up news.

Verizon buying Yahoo was the stupidest acquisition of all time. What value does Yahoo have? Even their email sucks and is prone to hacking.

American media is just as healthy as ever.

There’s just ONE catch:

IT’S CHANGING HANDS.

My heart bleeds for the Puffington Host. Can’t decide on a name, can’t decide what is true, can’t decide on a business strategy—these rabid leftists are nuts. The writing is on the wall, and they are blind.

Are they keeping the most stalinist employees or the most trotskyite?

Arianna Huffington sold the Huffington Post to AOL for $315 million. She still has hers!

Never hear of any layoffs at Free Republic.

Maybe there is something wrong with their business model...

And a story on Yahoo today was ‘Sessions has memory problems as he cannot recall if he met with the Russians two or three times’. I heard this part of his testimony. He had denied meeting with the Russians 3 times....he said this several times and, after being badgered by the Dem Senator, he said, in exasperation, ‘if it happened, I don’t remember it’. And the lede was ‘Sessions has memory problems’. Big Media must be on the Dem Payroll.

These so-called “meetings” were receptions for dozens to hundreds of people. Ofc you don’t know every person there or every person you may have chatted with in passing. This is all such a vile Libtard farce, perpetrated by the Mediascum and the Demoncraps.
