1. This teacher says make than an F-

[Drunken Irishman]

2. Ok, whoa, step back for a second.

Where exactly are the photos?

[DainBramaged]

3. I wasn't going to indulge ya that directly.............

:hi:

[Old Hank]

4. Those are cherry-picked headlines

Arianna's website reports on very important issues on a daily basis. Cherry-picking headlines about inane issues that do not constitute the majority of the news content in the site is counterproductive.

[DainBramaged]

5. Building Foreign cars in America is counterproductive

And you bet they are cherry-picked. She has become the NY Post of the Left.

[Old Hank]

11. The Rihanna headline is under the "Entertainment" section of the Huffington Post

I think some are being misled to think that she is putting those headlines in a "news" or "politics" section.
The news about Rihanna's photos is consistent with what you would see in any Entertainment section of any media outlet.

[DainBramaged]

16. If I want entertainment, I will visit the "E" website

THAT is the difference between the Left and the Right. We don't need to be entertained by our news outlets.

6. Matt Drudge became a millionaire posting sensationalized headlines.

Who wouldn't want to hop on that gravy train?

[DainBramaged]

8. Arrianna IS a millionaire, so is it fame? Notoriety? EGO?????

Or all three?

[onetwo]

12. All of that. She would love to be the Drudge of the left.

[HopeOverFear]

13. I'd say all three

[John Q. Citizen]

14. That's entertainment. And labeled as such, corrrectly by the way. Are you shocked?

15. Journalism? What journalism?

All I see over at HuffPo are links and opinion articles.

I have yet to see any journalism (which should equal original/investigative reporting) -- sensational or otherwise -- on HuffPo.

Arianna is an aggregator and a selfaggrandizer. That is all.

[DainBramaged]

19. Yup, my complaint exactly (I could create a site of links) Buzz Flash does a better job.

[HopeOverFear]

20. say that shit again

Arianna is an aggregator and a selfaggrandizer. That is all.

That's right! :toast:

[emilyg]

28. Exactly.

18. Plenty of frivolous, celebrity "news" on DU too if you look.

Just go to the Lounge or DU's entertainment forum.

[HopeOverFear]

21. the DU lounge is where frivolous stuff belongs

not on Huffington Post.

Damn, the Arriana-ites are out in force today!

[sandyd921]

22. Sorry, but I'm no Ariana-ite

Don't post there, have no interest. Just pointing out what I observe.

[Old Hank]

23. But why can DU, and not the Huffington Post, have an entertainment section?

Wouldn't it be fair for all progressive blogs to have the freedom to have an entertainment section?

[DainBramaged]

24. Her site is for people who like "news lite" with no heavy lifting

And there are LOTS of light weights around these parts.

OOOHHHHH look, anther YouBoob clip of the woman who claims to never have sung professionally while living in Scottland.............. give it a thousand recs..........:eyes:

[Number23]

30. Yep. And then I post an article about right wing attacks on affirmative action

and the Voting Rights Act -- 2 recs, 10 replies.

Maybe if I had thrown in something about fat women or smokers it would have gotten more attention.

But it's just conservative attacks on rights that protect people of color and women. Nothing to see here, folks. Moving along...

[DainBramaged]

25. Folks, if you haven't 'gotten it' this thread is in reply to the Huff Poo giving Obama an F

on the economy. Her 'news sewer' site doesn't have a clue about getting the economy to work, and if it did, we would have elected her as President and not Obama. When the MSM stops taking itself so seriously (and I think the Poo is now MSM) I'll stop making fun of them.

[HopeOverFear]

26. You know what it is, right? Arianna thinks she's hot shit since Obama called on

HuffPo at the second Presser, that's all that is. If it weren't for him, nobody outside the Internet would know who the hell she is.

She's just playing a role, pretending like she's outraged, when she depends on corporate money to keep her ass afloat.

Huff Poo...HA! :rofl:

[Old Hank]

27. Correction: She gave "his economic team" an F, not Obama himself

From the link provided:

BLITZER: Arianna, those of us who read you in Huffington Post all the time, you've been very sympathetic, very kind to the Obama White House, except when it comes to their economic policies. This is what you wrote on Tuesday. "The Obama administration's ongoing loyalty to Wall Street is a virus that holds far more danger than the swine flu, sorry, the h1n1." You give the president's economic team an F in how they're handling with this economy. Why?

HUFFINGTON: When it comes to the banks Wolf, and the bank bailout. We have now poured hundreds of billions of dollars into the banks. And remember, again and again we are told the reason is the banks going to unfreeze credit. It's not happening. The president himself said on Jay Leno the banks are actually basically keeping the money to balance their own balance sheet. So the main purpose of all this, which the Secretary of the Treasury reiterated in his various interviews to free up credit is not happening. So what are we doing? We're basically bolstering the prime actors of this meltdown, the people who brought us here and not allowing the free market to actually work and not allowing the free markets to punish those prime actors.

[HopeOverFear]

29. Why the hell are my messages getting deleted????

whatever :eyes:

[DainBramaged]

31. Not by me, some people here have paper-thin skins

and they don't care what you say, they complain like children tattle tailing.

[HopeOverFear]

32. Yep, for real

[ZombieHorde]

33. Your OP's subject line made me laugh. nt
