BuzzFeed big gets the boot

- Kate Feldman

THE WHITE House correspond­ent for website BuzzFeed was fired Wednesday for allegedly making inappropri­ate comments to a co-worker.

Adrian Carrasquil­lo (photo inset) was let go after a colleague complained.

“In responding to a complaint filed last week by an employee, we learned that Adrian violated our code of conduct by sending an inappropri­ate message to a colleague. This followed a recent reminder about our prohibitio­n against inappropri­ate communicat­ions,” a spokesman told the Daily News.

Carrasquil­lo was named White House correspond­ent in January after working as a political reporter and editor of Latino coverage at BuzzFeed.
