Supersonic jet - probably means content editing is being shifted to India.

C'mon, you guys don't produce the content for free, you produce it in exchange for bragging rights to having HuffPo posting privileges and the chance to win front page placement.

I thought the point of HP was that it's independent media?

@4 wow, and I thought my posts were loony tunes, sgt_doom ...

but, it is a sad commentary that a right-of-center "corporate wife" is regarded as extreme left in America.

She hasn't changed.

We have.

Arianna loves Moviefone so much she mentions it twice...

Given how well the whole AOL/Time Warner merger worked out, I'm not holding out high hopes for this mess.

$300 million would buy a lot of employee health insurance .

"it will be like stepping off a fast-moving train and onto a supersonic jet. We’re still traveling toward the same destination, with the same people at the wheel..."

Um, two things... first, neither trains nor supersonic airplanes are controlled by a steering wheel and second, would you really want a train driver flying your supersonic jet?

@9 FTW

I remember protesting her and her (soon to be outed) gay ex-husband back in the 90s. i never have been a big fan of hers and I have always thought her to be a phony. Her site now has mother fucking Ken Blackwell as a major contributor, after all.

I enjoyed reading the recent profile of AOL CEO Tim Armstrong in the New Yorker, in which even key AOL people acknowledge that 3/4 of their subscriber base is people who don't need to pay for it but don't know it. Terrifically upbeat fellow, but ridiculously doomed.

HuffPo, on the other hand, doesn't have any subscribers at all, only a handful of ad impressions that are unmonetizeable. Huff herself makes an assload on her big cashout, but investors are being screwed. As usual. Sometimes I think the whole reason for the internet to exist is to screw trillions out of dim investors.

"it will be like stepping off a fast-moving train and onto a supersonic jet. We’re still traveling toward the same destination, with the same people at the wheel..."

meaning both will crash and everybody dies, but the ball o' fire will be so big you can see it over and over on CNN.

Huffpo is the worst, They aren't liberal, they are marketing. It's what the news would look like if Facebook was in charge.

Please wait...
