Massive layoffs at Huffington Post after it pushed to deplatform right – By Joe Kovacs (WND) / Mar 9 2021
Left-leaning website previously said ‘inaction is dangerous’
After having pushed for the deplatforming of conservative voices, the left-leaning Huffington Post announced massive layoffs of its workforce on Tuesday – 47 U.S. writers including eight in management – and entirely shuttering its Canadian operation.
The decision was made to “fast-track the path to profitability,” enabling the company to break even this year and eventually turn a profit, according to Jonah Peretti, the CEO of BuzzFeed which acquired HuffPost from Verizon Media just three weeks ago.
He noted HuffPost’s losses totaled around $20 million in 2020.
“Though BuzzFeed is a profitable company, we don’t have the resources to support another two years of losses.”
