Major breaking news from last night, Verizon is seeking to sell the Huffington Post.

This is huge.

It may be the biggest news in the downfall of digital media that we've been seeing occur over

the past few years. Regardless of whether or not Verizon can actually sell the Huffington Post,

I think it's fair to say, we can expect layoffs. If they can't sell and they want to deprioritize,

they're going to cut costs. And if they do sell, the new buyer is going to want to streamline things.

But this is all occurring around another big story in the downfall of media. Vice just had

layoffs last month and there's a lot of news pertaining to vice news being cancelled,

the merger of vice news in vice land. And all of these are smaller stories that on their own

over and over again is, why are these media outlets failing? At the same time, conservative media is

so ideologically intersectional, I would say. What is the cause? Well, I think I've just described

it for you. What I want to do is we'll go over the latest news and I want to talk about what I see

because of the organizations I'm a member of and the people I regularly communicate with, but

admittedly I'm not as much of an insider in media as I used to be, but I could predict this.

Let me tell you, from the determination of splinter news, which just happened only a week or two ago,

that used to be called fusion. I worked there. I warned them this would happen. From vice,

I used to work there as well. I warned them that this would happen and now we are seeing these

companies take the big hit and I believe it has to do with their partisan ideological left-wing push.

Let's get started with the story from the Financial Times. Verizon seeks buyer for Huffington
