Gee, a few days before the midterms, and the Huffington Post in the last two days decide to push

stories to disparage Democrats

The first story, which they headline on their main page from yesterday revives a story from 2016 where they say a Democratic PAC was able to get Google to move the story down in their search engine, without any proof, and for that matter later in the story they indicate that nothing illegal may have been done:

Today they find the most important story to head is the issues with Perez and the "liberal" wing of the Democratic party

For those who may not be aware Huffington Post is owned by AOL

reading their stuff. I was real sure that was the right choice when I heard Jon Stewart refer to it as the "side-boob gazette". They started out well but pretty much sucked by the time Ariana sold it.
