BuzzFeed has pulled out of advertising agreement with the Republican National Committee over objections to Donald Trump’s rhetoric. The buy was for $1.3 million, a source close to BuzzFeed told POLITICO. The source said that the main consideration was the site’s employees – that BuzzFeed could not countenance “having employees make ads, or working at the company and having our site promoting things, that limit our freedom and make it harder for them to live their lives.” Asked if the site would rule out any Trump advertising, the source said the specifics would matter: “In general, we have taken the position that we won’t take ads for his presidential campaign.”

Buzzfeed CEO Jonah Peretti: “We certainly don’t like to turn away revenue that funds all the important work we do across the company. However, in some cases we must make business exceptions: we don’t run cigarette ads because they are hazardous to our health, and we won’t accept Trump ads for the exact same reason.”

Good for them but if they were doing it because of their morals or beliefs they never should have told us. In that case it's cheap publicity. And isn't buzzfeed just a site for cat gifs why are they advertising there anyway? lol

Also laughs. Good publicity that :lolga:

This is hardly different from when companies released statements about canceling conventions in NC because of anti-trans bathroom bill.

So it's to also reaffirm the company's mission statement and principles. :emma:

If only women and minorities would realize the same is true for them generally :saladga:
