it has no journalist, so you can't really judge it's staff as such. They just make millions using click bait headlines, and linking to others work. It's really smart, sometime if you check often enough you can watch the headlines get changed during the day to be more inflammatory to get more hits.

It was more disappointing (and surprising) when I found that even most of Manhattan isn't like Times Square.

they started to try and counter drudge, drudge is far right so huffington decided to do the same thing for the far left, and last time i looked was losing money, instead of making it hand over fist like drudge.

andrew breitbart was also the main guy who turned the drudge report into a thing (besides matt drudge), and he then went and helped get huffington post off the ground, so it was really the same person doing the behind-the-scenes stuff.

breitbart pretty much invented the modern political-outrage-clickbait business.

It's going to be scary when all the old guys who set up the system solely for their own economic benefit die off and leave their brainwashed true believers to run things. It will be scientology times a hundred

if you type in the names of republicans the first images on google are always the most unflattering/insulting as possible too.
