In a Huff...ington Post

What's the deal with the front page these days?

Man I tell ya...is it me or does it seem like Arianna has had a real hate on for Barack ever since the WH Correspondents Dinner when he made that crack about HuffPo getting all its stories by linking to other websites. Talk about thin skinned. It was a funny line!

Today's bad news jobs report is just the latest example it seems to me of a lot of gleefully anti-Obama attitude gracing the front page for the last couple of months or so.

Damn liberal media bias.

Remember it was she the had a correspondent sneak into a closed fundraiser 4 years ago to tape his remarks and then released the recording to embarass him.

She has attacked everything he's done from day one, yet has given the GOP a pass for their obstruction. She has been almost totally slient on Paul Ryan's budgets while attacking the President for not doing enough for the middle class.

It's not under her management anymore....that is why The Huffington Post now sucks.

earlier today! I really link it to the correspondents' dinner, but many other DUers pointed out that this has been ongoing for some time.

No it's true though isn't it? I mean it just seems that lately whenever I click on to the HuffPo homepage (when I'm not clicking on to get the latest in Side Boob news ) there is some sort of snarky or otherwise unflattering headline about Obama front and center. And with this jobs report out today it seems downright hostile.
