It must have been a real toxic s__tshow if they couldn’t find some liberal billionaire to buy it as a vanity project and pour money into it to keep it open.

Wait-—are they shutting down or laying off 15% of the staff? Headline and story don’t match.

It’s hard to maintain your “edgy” brand when all you do is publish propaganda to support the establishment.

BuzzFeed has many divisions including a news division. That’s the division being shuttered.

“They served their purpose and now they’re expendable.”
I was thinking that at the same time I was reading your comment. No legitimate news organization would touch the “dossier”, it was too ridiculous. But when Buzzfeed printed it, that allowed the main steam press to report on Buzzfeed’s reporting, and it was off to the races. And all planned 100%.

The competition in the Politically Left news and commentary business is intense.
Too many wanna-beez.
Not enough customers.
