What is the Huffington Post really about?

1. Arianna trying to create a story out of thin air and pimping it on the website and TV as opposed to

reporting or commenting on what is actually happening?

8. Arianna

Read she has asked/suggested that Vice Presi Biden resign ... has she lost her bloody mind??? Readers upset because B Wolf interrupted her ranting to inform that Rush will not be able to buy part of the Rams ...:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :banghead:

11. I really like it.

Read it everyday...probably sweep it 2-3 times. Sure, there's some stuff that draws the typical media consumer, but there's plenty of content that is positive for our agenda. I suspect that HP has been a very influential website in promoting the Democratic agenda. I really like the layout of the site...I can scan the pics and, if that grabs my attenntion, I click on to read further.

17. I pick through it every day, but all I remember when I leave are...

Headlines such as 'Prisoner eats own eye' and 'Who's got the best chest' and from today 'Tina Fey, 24-Year-Old Virgin: I 'Couldn't Give It Away'

I love Arianna (although I disagree on the call for VP Biden to resign) but her website is modeled on Rupert Murdock (and other's) British tabloids. Which makes it come off as sensationalistic garbage.

15. LOL on the 17 votes for "reporting." Can someone please direct me to a link

that shows ONE, just ONE, story of signifigant news value that Huffington Post broke?

And please, don't direct me to that secretly taped "clinging to guns and bibles" quote that was surreptiously taken by an unethical attention seeker with no professional skills OR ethics.

So, what show me some real NEWS they've broken.

16. Advertising income.
