What Happened to the Huffington Post???

I've noticed that three quarters of their stories on their political page...are about Pukes.
.Am I the only one who sees this?
Is this since the 325 million deal was announced, or was this happening before the deal? Yes there are still good stories there, but so many about the Pukes this, and the Pukes that. I would like to know what others think..
This may have been discussed before, but I missed that one..

1. Most of the stories here are about "pukes". Or why we should hate Obama.

I ask the same question: What happened to DU?

Your question is well taken.

2. When the GOP is in power, most political stories are about them.

When the GOP is not in power, most political stories are about them.

When power is divided, most political stories are about them.

That's your MSM.

4. You grossly misrepresent the facts.

As a matter of fact, only about around 60% of the content is softball Republican coverage.

And around 35% of the front-page stories are about entertainment gossip, with particular focus on Jersey Shore and Sports Illustrated, with a not too occasional smattering of pseudoscience puff-pieces.

The other 5% is devoted to serious, hard-hitting pieces that case the Left in a favorable light.

7. That could be because Arianna Huffington is a Republican,

and now that she's sold out to AOL, she can let it be. Could be. Who knows?

8. I've noticed many more mainstream press contributors there since

the takeover. I felt this would happen. To those of you now writing there though, good luck to you.
