Verizon has been quietly scrambling to unload HuffPost as it grapples with continued losses at the left-leaning news and culture website, The Post has learned.

The telecom giant — which acquired the site formerly known as the Huffington Post as part of its $4.4 billion purchase of AOL in 2015 — has approached multiple digital-media companies during the past few months in a bid to get the property off its books as losses accelerate due to the coronavirus, according to sources close to the situation.

Hopefully this leads to an avalanche of companies re-examining their policies and associations with lefty groups. Enough is enough. Everything from unbearable TV ads to sleeping with maniacal groups is part of the brainwashing procedures.

I didn’t know Verizon owned HuffPost. Perhaps AT&T could spin off CNN, and the two losers could pair up.

Coronavirus has nothing to do with it. HuffPoo didn’t sell tickets to live events or depend on brick and mortar sales.

Their product is failing of its own accord.

Just shut it down and cut your losses.

The country would be better off for it.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Good point, internet based has benefited while brick and mortar has suffered from the China Virus.

Uh, and wouldn’t sonethijbg like that have more traffic the more people are home??

Wonder if FR has been busier?

A politico reporter I used to follow about the House went to HuffPost and turned to garbage.
He was always liberal, but became unbearable and, worse, useless.

Newsweak sold for $1 so they better hurry before the election.

[Gene Eric]

Yup, and Comcast lose all of NBC

[a fool in paradise]

I don’t think that H-P even has a print newsstand edition of their tripe.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

My advice to HuffPost?

Learn to code.

Arianna and her late “husband” who turned out to be a homosexual, Michael Huffington, a guy who got rich off of natural gas (no pun intended) deserve everything they got, or did not get. My heart bleeds.....

[Chode]

here's a perfect chance for the RATS that work there to buy the thing and Own The Means Of Production that they are always prattling on about and show the world how communism really works... thing is, they know better

Verizon is a big BLM supporter so screw them.
I hope this Huff boat anchor drags them down.

The Huffington Post. I remember when they used to be a credible source of liberal lies and propaganda. Now I never see them anywhere.

Too irrelevant to even be of any concern.

[Dan in Wichita]

I didn't realize Verizon owned Huff Post either.

Now I'm really happy I dropped Verizon in August and now I'm with Pure Talk. Cut my phone bill by 2/3rds!

[Grampa Dave]

Another left wing media corp. going belly up!

Newsweak sold for $1 so they better hurry before the election.

Maybe Democratic Underground will get a bid for two dollars.

Thought Verizon bought AOL from ATT? Maybe wrong?
