I'm pretty much through with the Huffington Post because of their blatant anti-Hillary agenda.
Look--- I'm not all that enamored with Hillary and the way she is currently running her campaign. But I'm sure as hell less enamored with a so-called progressive web site that goes WAYYYY overboard with their obvious dislike for Hillary Clinton.

Don't get me wrong---it's fine if in that web site folks post their opinions about Hillary, etc... BUT it sure looks to me that the Huffington Post has lost all objectivity when they dominate a good portion of their site---errrr.... the main headline--- bashing Hillary.

I get enough of that shit from the MSM.

3. I'm plain fed up with Arianna's ramblings about Hillary
She has a fixation about Hillary; hard to figure out if it's jealousy because Hillary's been successful
or if she's never figured out what her own aspirations are. She's swung over (suppposedly) from being a
republican to a Democrat or whatever). We don't need her kind in this party. I'm taking her website off my favorites list as of today.

Maureen Dowd is another story...she seems to hate all Democrats, but just hates the Clintons more. It's a money making proposition to badger and bad-mouth the Clintons. Without them, just what would the so called media do to rake in all that money? :mad: :argh: :argh:

:thumbsup: Hillary, you go girl!

5. I generally agree
Hillary's having a rough week or so. But Huffington Post isn't objective or supposed to be. Apparently it has now chosen to be a Hillary-bashing site.

7. I've thought the same for some time. Arianna
really seems to have it in for Hillary. I think it dates back to his infidelity to Hillary and Arianna was angry because she would not divorce Bill. She made quite a bit about that. It seems she has become just another pundit dragging the senator through the dirt. It tells me much more about Arianna than Hillary.

8. The tenor of the opposition recently to Sen. Clinton and her husband
has become shrill and ridiculous, blaming them for all of Bush's ills as if Bill was clairvoyant and Hillary omnipotent.

9. Whaaaa? Blogs have to be fair and balanced to every candidate now?
Huffpost doesn't like Hillary, neither do lots of Americans. I see no problem with them expressing that opinion. Or maybe the Dems should do what the Republicans wanted and define all political blogs as lobbying groups, effectively shutting off free speech and opinion on the Internet. :eyes:

11. Balance isn't required, but there's news and there's opinion.
HuffPost bloggers can say anything they want and that's wonderful. But the HuffPost home page says "Delivering News AND Opinion..." and its "The News" and "The Blog" sections are separated. If the news is slanted, then it's all opinion.

Having said that, although Hillary gets mugged fairly regularly, George W., Cheney, and McCain get their kneecaps whacked with a 40-ounce Louisville Slugger regularly as well. At least HuffPost irritates both parties equally. (And I confess, I've liked some of Elayne Boosler's posts.)

14. I agree, Arianna has jumped the shark on the subject of Hillary
She doesn't have to like her but she could use a little more objectivity when reporting about her. It seems every bit of her writings for the last three months has been anti-Hillary. Even when the subject isn't about Hillary she manages to turn the point around, somehow, no matter how vague, to a harangue of Hillary.

I would rather have Arianna on our side as not but her obsession with Hillary borders on a magnitude 10 on the Tweety Matthews/Jay Leno Clinton Scale of Dislike. Enough already. We get the idea you don't like her. How about the war? Chucklenuts? Dead Eye Dick? The Cabal? The lying, cheating, stealing hateful Republics? Ya forget about them in your hatred?
