[font size="4"]Report: 'Huckabee Post' Mike Huckabee's Latest Media Venture[/font]
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/report-huckabee-post-mike-huckabee-s-latest-media-venture
Former Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee plans to launch a publication called the "Huckabee Post" in January 2014, ABC News reported Monday.
David Huckabee, the former Arkansas governor's son, told ABC News that his father's news website will cover everything from politics to pop culture. He called the publication a "natural extension and expansion" of the commentary his father already does on other media outlets, including his radio show and Fox News.
Mediaite spotted a Craiglist ad for the site Friday, which called for reporters to work out of offices in New York City and Washington, D.C.
Craigslist, where all the great news journals do their talent searches. But yes, Pastor Huckabee's reaching for the stars again. Still, the blatant rip-off for a title is not a class move. One wonders what other names got scratched off the legal pad during that, doubtlessly, epic brainstorming session that finally landed on "The Huckington Post" excuse me, [font face="Bell MT" size="4" color="#004040"]THE HUCKABEE POST[/font], as the name that will bring greatness and light to computer screens across the continent.
