Really?

Seriously.
This is part of the plan for The HuffPo to be taken seriously as a journalistic institution?
OMFG.

What did you expect? You banned LexG. He had to go somewhere.

And it's good that FluffPo is being called out on their tabloid sleaze. It makes Arianna's narcissistic self-righteousness easier to deflate. You can take the Woman out of the Republican but you can't...

I defended huffpo once on this blog, but have to agree with you now, DP. Completely ridiculous. I guess being serious has to be its own reward, because there seem to be no commercial prospects for it.

You beat me to the punch, Drew. I had one in the chamber and ready to fire as soon as I saw DP's post.

They were also leading the way with The Wrap on sensationalized, certainly misleading headlines concerning the death of Tom Sparks (a friend of mine), trying to paint the narrative as "another reality show contestant dies" and then reporting within the piece the truth about a pre-existing condition being the culprit.
Disgusting.

I thought for sure that this was an April Fools-y switcheroo from The Onion or somewhere else, but dammnnnnnnnnn. Does this disaster tie into the release of "2012" somehow? They dirty bombed their own damn blog.

Yes. I think this is exactly what the readers of HuffPo think of as serious journalism.
Have you ever read any of the articles?

So one portion of the news site has a little fun, and it's suddenly an illegitimate news source? Seriously, you are taking it this too seriously.

The entire site seems devoted to Drudge style headlines, quite often deliberatly misleading in a perpetually sleazy attempt at hits. Does the site need an all-caps bold headline that Arianna crazily wants Joe Biden to quit? Like Kos, she's become a tiresome narcissist with little insight and a suspicious slide to always seeking liberal division. Like Kos. And both former Repubs. Just sayin'.

Chris, I still have no idea why Arianna wants Joe to resign. That entire article made no damn sense. Absolutely zero fucking sense.
Nevertheless Nicol, you are a Canadian, and you need to go somewhere else to discuss politics. How about hotblog.ca you hoser!

She was just saying that Biden should follow through and resign on principle since he opposes the war in Afghanistan, and it would get a lot of attention. Why Arianna thinks Biden should abandon his country is beyond me.

When Arianna brought her dimwit sleaze-pimp pal Bonnie Fuller on board, you could see where the site was headed. There are great articles on there (i should know) but too much TMZ noise.
