2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI was warned about Huffington Post. . .
and I didn't heed the warning. They are obviously HIGH on crack. H-U-G-E headline under Politics: "CHANGE IN FORTUNE"--Trying to say Romney has overtaken Obama. Upon reading it closely, it indicated that Obama still leads in the Swing States and that the uptick for Romney wasn't really statistically significant. Pure Bullshit as usual for a company associated with AOL/Time Warner. Pure and utter S-H-I-T.

They have no shame. I remember liking the site very much when it first launched in 2005 and for the next few years. The last few have been just awful. It is an online rag...no getting away from it.

(4,154 posts)I remembered it as not being bad, but it's on a par with National Enquirer now but with a vicious, tea party slant.

(204 posts)to me it got a lot worse once they combined with AOL. Clicking on a headline is not worthwhile because the story is NEVER about what the headline suggests. It is awful.
