Verizon. Yahoo! AOL. Oath:
Tim Armstrong, the head of Verizon's AOL division, announced Oath in a Twitter post on Monday afternoon: "Billion+ Consumers, 20+ Brands, Unstoppable Team. #TakeTheOath. Summer 2017."
The brand will apply to the digital media division of Verizon after it buys Yahoo's internet assets for $4.48 billion, a deal that is expected to close by the end of June. But do not count the legacy brands out just yet: Yahoo, AOL and The Huffington Post will continue to exist and operate with their own names — under the Oath umbrella.
[...] Many greeted the announcement with bewilderment, with some suggesting that Oath sounded like the name of a heavy metal band.

Yahoo, AOL, Huffington you have been SLIMED.. Very SLIMED :P
The Huffington Post isn't that the news outlet that is restrained such as to not offend nor inform anyone of anything that matters?
Sorry for the rant ;)
In case anyone forgot:
Verizon Redirects Typo Traffic to its Own Search Service [gigaom.com] (2007)
And that piece of information seems to been "lost" from their Wikipedia page..
