HuffPost and BuzzFeed reporters blame Google and Facebook for their layoffs

Breitbart: Following the announcement of mass layoffs at HuffPost and BuzzFeed amongst others this week, journalists blamed the Google and Facebook duopoly on digital advertising.

“What is happening to American journalism isn’t a mystery. Google and Facebook are eating this industry alive and taking down American democracy with it,” declared HuffPost senior reporter Zach Carter. “This isn’t happening because of market inefficiencies or consumer preferences or social value. It’s happening because two very large companies have taken the advertising revenue that journalism outlets rely on and replaced it with nothing.”  more here

 

SNIP:  “This isn’t happening because of…  consumer preferences…”
No, of course not, customers love it when you lie to them and print fake news. LOL.

  1. I guess Buzzfeed is going to overlook the fact that mueller himself came out of his office to call them liars when they printed that phony story about michael cohen having explosive info about Trump making him lie to congress. That’s not a big part of why people are getting laid off from Buzzfeed. No, not at all. LOLOL.

    It’s called capitalism, Zachy boy! And if you don’t like it, you’re a racist. Right, Charles?

    Right, David.

  3. I didn’t hear a peep out of them when facebook and twitter were blocking and demonetizing conservative and (and a handful of pro- natural-women) feminist website pages and twitter accounts.

    We’re a republic….moron. You deserved to lose your job because of that statement alone.

  5. Zach Carter has been rejected by all of the trade schools in North America. He’s on a waiting list for the Sioux Nation refrigeration academy, but he has to have 7 teeth pulled….

  6. When your enemies are committing suicide – and denying that they are – why argue with them?
    I’m guessing that these asshats couldn’t even sell toilet paper on a San Francisco street corner.

  7. I’m starting to have a grudging respect for Ocasio-Cortez. At least she’s worked hard before. These laid-off losers with their therapy puppies and RomCom Phd’s make me want to puke. As far as I’m concerned, 4chan can’t hit them enough with “learn to code”.
