Report: Verizon Trying To Unload HuffPo. No Takers Yet.

On Monday, the New York Post reported that Verizon, the parent company of Huffington Post, wants to dump the leftist news site.

Verizon purchased HuffPo in 2015 as part of the deal in its $4.4 billion purchase of AOL in 2015, but now, the Post reported, Verizon has contacted multiple digital-media companies to take the news site off its hands. Some of those possible targets reportedly have included Vox Media, Group Nine Media, Penske Media Corp., Bustle Digital Media and J2 Global.
