Two thousand nine hundred thirty (2,930) out of two thousand nine hundred sixty five (2,965) companies (99%) stopped advertising on Huffpost.com after being encouraged to pull off the website because it supports the Islamist political agenda and spews vitriolic propaganda that inspires leftist hate.
Florida Family Association has been calling on Corporate America to stop spending consumer dollars at HuffPost since April 2016. HuffPost publishes more leftist vitriol that is read by more readers than almost any other leftist news site. As leftist as the Washington Post is its articles pale in comparison to the hate and vitriol that takes up a large portion of the Huffpost.com news site.
Huffpost has published many falsely based articles that inspire ignorance and inflame hate toward targeted Americans and American cultures. Huffpost articles spew vitriol in its obvious objective to tarnish the public image of military service members, law enforcement officers, conservative Christians and Jews, conservative leaders and white people.
Huffpost.com has defended Sharia law, defended the Muslim Brotherhood, fundraised for the Council on American Islamic Relations, blamed Christians for worldwide conflict with Muslims, promoted an anti-Semitic blog, encouraged Islamist demagoguery, and promoted other Islamist propaganda.
Huffpost.com pushes propaganda about DEI, Marxism, transgender identity and racist critical race theory that can have dangerous consequences.
This semi-annual report shows more improvement since the last reports dated May 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024:
• 173 more companies stopped advertising in past 8 months (2,930 this report vs. 2,757 on 10/24 report).
• 380 more companies stopped advertising in past year (2,930 this report vs. 2,550 on 03/24 report).
• 166 first time advertisers stopped advertising since 10/24.
• 11 fewer companies continued to advertise (35 this report vs. 46 on 10/24).
HuffPost’s decline in advertising revenues would have been much greater had it not been for vendor ads at Amazon, Target, Walmart and Etsy websites. Florida Family Association estimates that vendor ads through Amazon.com account for close to 50% of the ads posted at HuffPost.
However, even with multitudes of vendor ads through Amazon, Target, Walmart and Etsy HuffPost’s parent company BuzzFeed advertising revenues financial condition continued to decline. BuzzFeed reported very dismal financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. Here are some important points to gleam from BuzzFeed’s 2024 financial reports:
• BuzzFeed sales declined $41 million from 2023 to 2024 to $189.9 million.
• Advertising revenue declined 17%.
• Net loss for the year was $33.9 million.
• Despite boasting that the “audience Time Spent “continues to outpace the competition” the corporation lost sales.
• Total assets declined $217 million (nearly 50%) from $438 million in 2023 to $221 million in 2024.
• Cash and cash equivalents of $38.6 on hand is ONLY $5 million more than its one year 2024 annual loss.
• On February 24, 2025 BuzzFeed reported that it sold a major asset called Complex for $108.6 million. Out of the proceeds $30.9 million will pay off of the company’s convertible notes due 2026 and eliminate the company’s revolving credit facility by repaying it in full at $35.5 million. The balance left over of $41 million will add to the cash it needs to survive future losses.
• On February 24, 2025 Buzzfeed reported that it plans to reduce expenses by implementing a 16% reduction in the remaining workforce, which is expected to yield approximately $23 million in annualized compensation cost savings.
Additionally, BuzzFeed reported the following for its year ended December 31, 2023 financial condition:
• BuzzFeed’s 2023 revenues were $252.7 million, 26% less than 2022.
• Advertising revenues declined 31%.
• Net loss from continuing operations was $60.3 million.
Florida Family Association encourages Corporate America to stop supporting Huffpost.com with advertising dollars because of the leftist site's articles promote transgender reassignment, critical race theory, vitriol towards millions of Americans and the Islamist political agenda. Outlined below are just a few examples.
HuffPost article justifies Marxism by alleging that Jesus was a Marxist. See article titled "Sorry Republicans But Jesus Was a Marxist."
HuffPost published an article titled I'm A 'Baby Queen.' Here's Why We Should Be Scared For Our Kids (And It's Not Because Of Drag). Subtitled: "Arguably, the real 'groomers' here are the politicians supporting these bills." The bills to which this article is referring is legislation that is intended to make it unlawful to admit children into drag queen shows. Drag queen shows are often labeled grooming opportunities to introduce children to the trans world.
HuffPost published an article on February 9, 2023 titled: “James Carville Attacks GOP, Marjorie Taylor Greene As ‘White Trash.’” The article states in part: “The longtime Democratic operative told MSNBC's Ari Melber "the level of white trashdom in the Republican Party is staggering." HuffPost routinely publishes embellished propaganda to denigrate conservatives, Christians, Jews and white people.
HuffPost supports the Defund the Police movement.
On August 14, 2022 HuffPost published an article titled “GOP Bashed For Attacks On IRS Agents After Targeting FBI.” The article reported in part: Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley is wildly claiming IRS agents armed with assault-style rifles are preparing to show up at Americans’ doors to audit their taxes. Compare HuffPost’s lies to the News Week article titled “IRS Deletes Requirement That New Agents Be Willing to Use 'Deadly Force.'”
Huffington Post article helps Colin Kaepernick raise money to defend rioters "resisting police."
HuffPost published an article which informs its leftist readers about Kaepernick’s fund to help rioters that are arrested. The article states in part:
BLACK VOICES 05/29/2020 05:55 pm ET
Colin Kaepernick On Minneapolis Uprising: ‘We Have The Right To Fight Back’
The activist and former NFL quarterback launched a legal defense fund for those resisting police violence in response to the George Floyd killing.

Huffington Post columns and articles assault the Christian faith:
• A column titled: How An Evangelical Dating Guide And Purity Culture Gave Me An Anxiety Disorder. The article states in part: Although I haven’t read the book in decades, my body still harbors the trauma of its teachings.
• A column titled: My Evangelical Church Is Gaslighting Me, But I Refuse To Fall For It Anymore. The article states in part: But the church also claims there’s good news! Even though I deserve death, Jesus’ bloody crucifixion and subsequent bodily resurrection saves me from a fiery eternal hell ― all because I believe this supernatural story and earnestly accept the gift of his grace. And because of this sacrifice, I owe him a lifetime of gratitude, worship and a commitment to follow his commandments (even though, because of my human flesh, I will always ultimately fail him). For decades, I bought this story and …. The boldness of the church’s hypocrisy is causing me to question the very foundation of my spiritual beliefs. It’s disorienting. Every biblical principle I hold sacred has been disregarded by many other Christians, and I often feel like I’m losing my sanity while the entire house of cards that is my evangelical upbringing collapses around me. Those Christians are calling me a heretic and a godless woman because now I reject their Republican rhetoric and because my personal Christian values ... more closely align with the Democratic Party’s platform.
• A column titled: Christian Schools Like Karen Pence’s Are The Real Threat To Academic Freedom. The article states in part: Last week, the “second lady” of the United States, Karen Pence, went to work as an art teacher at Immanuel Christian School in Northern Virginia. Immanuel Christian School requires “moral purity” from its staff, meaning they can’t be queer, have sex outside marriage or watch porn, and must “respect the unique roles of men and women.” Immanuel Christian is not unusual. Too many religious schools at all levels regulate the personal conduct of their employees and students, restrict the books teachers can assign or students can read, and demand fealty to narrow constructions of religious identity, while enshrining bigotry into their bylaws.
• An article titled: Voucher Schools Championed By Betsy DeVos Can Teach Whatever They Want. Turns Out They Teach Lies. These schools teach creationism, racism and sexism. The article assaults Christian schools for teaching creationism which is a fundamental of Christianity. The article twists textbook quotes completely out of context to allege Christian schools are racist and sexist. The article claims the textbook statement “Jews plotted to kill Jesus” is racist. It is a fact that Jews plotted to kill Jesus, who was also Jewish. Most Christians have a strong affinity for Israel and Jewish people.
• A column titled: White evangelicals will never make America great again. If a HuffPost.com article ever denigrated "black" Christians it would most likely lose all advertisers. But some advertisers are okay with racist articles directed at white Christians.
• A column titled: White Evangelicals Are The Most Fragile Of All White People. The column is a sordid collection of unsubstantiated attacks on the character of “white evangelicals" and Christians. The author of this hideous racist, column wrote many insults without any supporting facts.
Where are Huffingtonpost.com articles or columns that criticize Islam, Islamist political movement or Sharia law? However, there are plenty of articles supporting the Islamist movement in America. Some examples are provided below.
Huffingtonpost.com published an article on August 18, 2017 that calls America’s finest, our soldiers "racist" in its article titled “Becoming A Racist: The Unfortunate Side Effect Of Serving Your Country?” In addition to smearing America’s finest with the racist title it trashes our police as well. This article broadly paints the racist title on the people who give their lives for our public safety.
HuffPost.com added to its leftist content with an article titled Relax, Boomers: Socialism Is Good Now. It’s going to be OK. The article’s objective is to smooth over baby boomers’ fears of socialism which HuffPost claims was allegedly caused by misinformation and propaganda.
HuffPost.com has published numerous articles that promote Islamist propaganda. Click here to see the full details at this floridafamily.org article.
Why is it important to urge companies to stop advertising at Huffingtonpost.com?
• The Huffington Post’s large number of readers and high volume of pro-Islamist and vitriolic, leftist reports makes it a leading proliferator of Islamist and vitriolic, leftist propaganda in the United States.
• Islamophobia propaganda is the top tool Islamists use to influence Americans to ignore advancement of Sharia doctrine in the United States. Unfortunately, it intimidates people to the point of stifling free speech in a manner that hurts public safety and allows Sharia to thrive.
• The Huffington Post’s frequent pro-Islamist reporting feeds the Hate America crowd with more reasons to defend Islamists and ignore the harmful direction that results from its acceptance.
• HuffPost and HuffPost Arab employ several former Al Jazeera reporters and Islamist advocates who have pushed the Islamist and Muslim Brotherhood agenda.
• Florida Family Association’s opposition campaign educates thousands of officials at hundreds of American and foreign companies about the harm caused by erroneous Islamophobia propaganda and pro-Islamist reporting. The thousands of emails that company officials receive reveal that there are many Americans who find Islamist propaganda deceitful, harmful and offensive.
The Florida Family Association office has communicated with two thousand nine hundred sixty five (2,965) companies since April 2016 regarding their advertising on Huffpost.com as of May 31, 2025.
• A total of two thousand nine hundred thirty (2,930) companies stopped advertising. Ninety eight (98%) of the companies did not advertise again after receiving emails from the Florida Family Association office or after receiving emails from thousands of people in response to Florida Family Association’s online campaigns.
• Thirty five (35) companies continued to advertise.
The names of the companies that Stopped Advertising and that Continued Advertising are listed below. New recent advertisers and companies that have not advertised in several months but advertised again in the report month are not included in the lists until sufficient time is allowed to determine if the companies will continue to advertise.
