That's unfortunate. They had some great investigative reporting.

They haven’t been relevant since 2013

that's unfortunate for all of the employees but their news articles are terrible. there was so much clickbait and selectively chosen facts to fit their narrative.

Absolutely no one will miss them

that's fortunate. They had some awful investigative reporting.

Being associated with a brand that's known for clickbait and garbage personality quizzes would be part of why their public perception was, frankly, a joke. Can't say their full buy-in to Russiagate really helped them either.

What can I say that you don't already know?

I hope they don't shut down Buzzfeed Quizzes.

[Happylittlepunk]

This is only the news station not the actual buzzfeed website/brand. So the site will focus more on entertainment and fun stories like quizzes, movies, tv shows, cooking, celebrities, lifestyles etc. 

 

I am not surprised buzzfeed news was never going to be taking seriously.

It’s over for the media
