It’s interesting that Smith and Polgreen chose to direct their anger towards President Trump and not the companies which elected to lay off members of their staff.
In light of the aforementioned layoffs, many Americans are speculating that incorrect coverage regarding the standoff between Covington high schoolers and adult protesters is a contributing factor, coupled with reports on the president and his alleged ties to the Russian government. Countless individuals have ongoingly spoken out about their disdain for fake news.
Despite the manufactured outrage from Smith and Polgreen, President Trump is not the only American who maintains his stance on the layoffs at BuzzFeed and The Huffington Post. Like the president, other people of this country chimed in with their thoughts on the reasons behind the layoffs:
