What the f*** is up with HuffPo

[cilla4progress]

Their alarming headlines about today's economic news... Ever since Obama ribbed them at the reporters' dinner last month, they have been coming at him teeth bared!

[rurallib]

1. let me think - oh yeah. Adrianna sold them out to AOL

[awoke_in_2003]

4. Arianna...

has always been anti-incumbent

[rurallib]

8. oops - have a friend named Adrianna

[enough]

2. From the front page, I thought the stock market had crashed. (nt)

[abelenkpe]

3. They suck

It's mostly a gossip rag dedicated to side boob anyway.

[cilla4progress]

9. Hysterical and totally right on

Is it the sale to AOL that led to its total downfall in the past year?

[1000 Words]

22. 4

[Blue_Tires]

30. Roger Clemens has been scouting that 'talent' for awhile now...

[crunch60]

5. Arianna sold out, and now they're just another right-wing rag. nt

[Rain Mcloud]

6. PuffHo

is a business which is funded by advertiser's or it was last time I checked.
Unfortunately they get a say in how things are handled and they would like you to believe that
HuffPost has a shred of impartiality or even some journalistic standards.
P.T.Barnum knew the formula well,Huffington Post is a Circus Extraordinaire'.
In the center ring for your amusement and bemusement the apocalyptic side boob of the blonde bimbo of the week!
Step this way to menage number deux,witness the son of the Yak lady,please out of consideration,no flash photography!
Ring number three features yet another witness to Bill Clinton's Little Rock Sexcapades as featured in the Weekly World News with censored photo's and answering machine excerpts of the raunchy rendezvous caught on tape!

With so many good news feeds out there,why? Why would you even go there? For Gossip and the Freak of the Week go to TMZ.

10. thanks

[cilla4progress]

26. I keep getting sucked in by the format...

you know, "Politics!," "Comedy!", "Over 50!"

What are some of your favorite news feeds?

7. Huffpo has been a RW shil-a-thon from almost day one.

[Wellstone ruled]

11. Huff-post is nothing more than a DLC propaganda rag.

[madrchsod]

12. yes huff is a dlc propaganda rag.

they purged all the progressive contributors. i guess aol does`t want progressives mucking up their website


i bet paul is smiling about what the folks are doing in wisconsin.

[One of the 99]

13. Dude, you know the DLC disbanded a few years ago

Plus Huffington spent most of 2007 and 2008 attacking Hillary Clinton who was the DLC's prefered candidate at the time.

Huffington has alway been a conservative republican. She fooled many because she was against the Iraq war, but so were many republicans.

If HuffPo is a propaganda rag for anyone, it's for the GOP.

[Bluenorthwest]

18. She's a conservative Democrat. Shoe fits her well.

I mean, she ran for Gov of CA as a Democrat, so it takes some blinders to claim she's always been Republican, much less conservative Republican. She's the very picture of the corporate Democrat. Even when she was married to a Republican, they were not conservative by GOP standards, Mike being gay and all that...
She was a Democratic candidate for Governor....

[One of the 99]

23. No she ran as an Independent.

It rakes real blinders to not know this simple matter of fact.

[Bluenorthwest]

19. And the DLC dissolved Feb, 2011 which is not 'a few years ago' it is not even a year and a half

The Clinton Foundation bought the DLC records, and of course all of the DLC leadership, such as Harold Ford, are still chiming in with their 'let's make love to business' music....

[One of the 99]

24. They are still disbanded

They don't exist any more. The timeframe is irrelevant.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

14. Please! Arianna has been anti-Obama ever since the primaries. Once she sold out to AOL,

it has gotten worse.

[Rex]

15. Well it is the Huffpost

not much different then the NYT or Newsweek. A step away from the American Spectator or the Weekly Standard.

[marlakay]

16. I have noticed since she sold to aol

She slowly has gone to the right, not in a huge way to make everyone leave but very manipulative. Like all the articles praising pot the last two weeks. They don't mention Obama but it is obvious they are trying to suppress the dem vote by trying to get them to stay home knowing they won't vote for ther side.

And then today the huge slam about jobs and the stock market. It was totally written to weaken dem support.

[boxman15]

17. Arianna is a Republican stooge.

It's only gotten worse since the site has been sold to AOL. I'm done with that shit site. The only thing that's useful that they have is Pollster.

The site is designed to keep Democratic turnout low. It's painfully obvious now.

[relayerbob]

20. Arianna has only seemed to ever care about one thing ...

Arianna.

Well, except when she seemed to care about money.

[Blue_Tires]

29. +1

[relayerbob]

21. or, maybe the truth just hurts

For anyone who may have missed the line:

Congratulating Huffington Post, Obama said, “There’s no one out there linking to the kinds of hard-hitting journalism that HuffPo is linking to every single day. And you don’t pay them -- it’s a great business model!”

[morningfog]

25. It has devolved into a tabloid rag. Worthless, imo.

[JNelson6563]

27. Corporate whore media, sold by corporate whore, acts whore-ish.

Shocking. So unexpected.

[Mosaic]

28. I keep it in my corporate news folder

Along with NYT, Time, USA Today, NPR, etc.
