It certainly has been a tough week at BuzzFeed. A week after Robert Mueller’s office raised doubts about the news org’s report that Donald Trump ordered his lawyer-fixer Michael Cohen to lie to Congress comes word that the one-time poster child for pure-digital growth plans to lay off a reported 200 staffers, or 15% of its work force.
Co-founder and CEO Jonah Peretti sent a memo to staff this afternoon announcing the job cuts, which will hit the web content and international units including the Ben Smith-led news division beginning next week.It certainly has been a tough week at BuzzFeed.

I am sure it's purely coincidental that this was announced shortly after last weeks Buzzfeed fiasco. But that doesn't make it any less satisfying to know that fake news is struggling, even in this economy.

BREAKING: 2018 was the fourth warmest year on record — and more evidence of a ‘new normal,’ scientists report
get woke, go broke.
Perhaps the laid off journalists can go find work at another trump hating news mag, the weekly stand.....oops never mind
It's so weird how Trump is supposed to be mega-unpopular but the media orgs out to get him are the ones that keep downsizing, folding up, and rebranding
i'll bet the two fucksticks who wrote the phony russia - trump story were NOT among the layoffs.

Most Americans are unwilling to pay $10 a month to fight climate change, a survey found.

We were told on numerous occasions that paying $9 a month for birth control was outrageous, so you can’t expect people to think giving $10 a month to who-knows-what is just dandy

Isn't it funny how every year seems the be the third or fourth warmest year on record?

Doesn't matter, they killed BuzzFeed.
NBC raises eyebrows over $400 million relationship with BuzzFeed
It's a way for NBC to promote fake news while the Peacock network can pretend to be at arms distance

well, considering the fact that there are 1500 private jets parked in davos right now, i can understand why.
it would be nice if the elite could be seen as dropping the hypocrisy and actually making a material contribution to the cause first, before ask me for 10 bucks a month.
that's always been the problem with the warmyl cooling crowd - their actions have never aligned with their alarmist rhetoric.
Right ON!
"It's so weird how Trump is supposed to be mega-unpopular but the media orgs out to get him are the ones that keep downsizing, folding up, and rebranding"
Not since 1969.
"The number of Americans filing applications for unemployment benefits fell to more than a 49-year low last week."
Winning.
Fake news, alky, jane and flathead Denise.
They called for a US Stock Market Collapes
They called for a recession/depression in the USA
They do not wish these thing on our enemies.

Logically.. if the world was warming, every year would always be the warmest year on record. If it is anything "but" the warmest, it's actually cooling.
Logically..
And that's the problem the blog alarmist has
""Millennials and people, you know, Gen Z and all these folks that will come after us are looking up and we're like: 'The world is gonna end in 12 years if we don't address climate change..."

"unless drastic measures to reduce greenhouse gases are taken within the next 10 years, the world will reach a point of no return.” In Gore’s own words, he claimed we were in “a true planetary emergency.”
Oh oh. So that failed.
huh. the alky got one right for a change.
cohen HAS been subpoenaed to testify to the senate intel committee.
hmmm... i wonder why. hopefully they're setting a perjury trap for him and when he's caught lying he get's 30 years added to his sentence.
Good news Algore, 2 years past your prediction . In 2019 Cortez gave us an Extension of 12 years.

nice. now we can skip that $50 TRILLION worth of free shit since we're all dead in a dozen years anyway.

Of course Cohen has been instructed by Special Counsel not to answer any questions about the his involvement on the ongoing probe.
I would guess it would be to ask if he has any evidence of some of the things he is claiming, or if it is all he said (Trump) she said (Cohen - who will become a she in prison).
What evidence do you have regarding "A".
What evidence do you have regarding "B".
What evidence do you have regarding "C".
Only my word as man of honor!
Lol.
I see new York is making it legal for Abortions any time, any where, doing it in a dirty garage with a shop vac.

try to imagine just how fucking PISSED kermit gosnell must be right now.
NY just legalized everything that put him away for life.
heh.
The New York State Senate voted 38 to 24 to bring the act into law after a 12-year legislative battle.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D), a Catholic, said earlier this month that he would sign the legislation if it were to be passed, and that he hopes to add abortion rights to the state’s constitution. This process could begin next year.
The bill was passed on the anniversary of the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that found a woman had a legal right to receive abortion in the United States."
Go shop vac open a abortion back alley drive thru "suck that baby shop".
Only my word as man of honor!
LOL. exactly. i suspect the senate intel cmte. is just fucking with cohen and the democrats. this assclown has supposedly spilled his guts already. anything new lands his ass in some serious hot water.

grab a big ol' bucket of popcorn and get comfortable. NY is under one-party rule now, and the laundry list of progressive bullshit has been piling up for that dozen years referenced in your headline. cuomo is hell bent on pile driving NY right into the fucking ditch. new bills are being drafted for a mountain of free shit, and our voting rules are going to be loosened to a point that makes california's ballot harvesting seem sane and conservative.
btw, keep your eyes wide open in kansas. a few reps from johnson county flew the 'R' flag to get elected and then promptly switched to "D's". a pretty shitty thing to do barely a month into a legislative session...
Yep, that is news here in Kansas. Johnson county and Douglas where my dear ole KU is (as you know) are spots of liberal blight.
There's a photo out of a newborn baby. It says he was born at 12:05...and at 12:04 in NY he can be legally killed.
I'm pro choice but this is wrong.
Add this to the rest of the wonderful things NY has given us - schumer, gillibrand, AOC, two terms of Cuomo.
I'm so proud.
huff po and a bunch of other media outlets have just announced layoffs.
of course they'll blame trump instead of blaming the real culprits - google and fakebook - for sucking up all the ad revenue that's been paying their salaries.
I'm so proud.
same here. i remain to care for one last elderly relative and when they're gone from this earth i'm gone from NY.
better to watch this shitpile burn from afar.
But remember Cuomo said the death penalty for murderers is “a stain on our conscience”.
Hypocrisy...
Bedrock...
Liberalism...
But remember Cuomo said the death penalty for murderers is “a stain on our conscience”.
murderers can reliably vote democrat.all they need is a pardon. and getting a pardon in NY is as easy as calling an uber.
newborns can't vote, therefore they're a liability. better to exterminate them. could they grow up to be liberal? yeah, but better safe than sorry.
cuomo knows EXACTLY what he's doing.
also, he was in puerto rico at least a couple times after the storm recruiting new democrat voters. the public housing in NYC is a fucking disaster, but still a step up from living in a tin shack in PR.
the man has a plan. it just happens to be evil.
