    Arianna's latest catchword seems to be "Thrive." To which I say, vomit.

    The only thing I like about Huffpost is that they reported a lot of stories on income inequality, the realities of the job market and labor in general, and housing issues, when other outlets were uninterested. I think they have some good reporters.

    Remember that Huffington is no different than Murdoch, taking advantage of political tribalism for profit. She was anti-feminism at the time and "evolved" when she saw the ability to make money. No different that Murdoch making the most liberal broadcast channel and the most conservative news channel when there was a void for both

      How was Arianna Huffington "anti-feminism"?

    I almost wish this surprised me, but it does not.

    Isaacson's article did not disclose Huffington's ties to Godin, nor her role in its editing, but Huffington and Godin have a history of looking out for one another. In Thrive, for example,Huffington generously excerpts a 2013 blog post written by Godin, about the necessity of identifying "who's part of the online community for the right reasons." In return, Godin effusively blurbed the inspirational tome: "This is a generous, urgent, vital book, a chance to redefine how we keep score before it's too late.Arianna has given us a gift, and delivered it with style. Read it!"

    "Yes, Seth and I are friends," Huffington said, when asked. She declined, however, to comment on the article's editing process.*

    *Spy Magazine used to watch dog such nonsense in the "Logrolling in our Time" column. J.K. Trotter would have THRIVEd at Spy.

      The title of this article should've been "SHOCKING NEWS ABOUT ARIANNA" in a bold red Helvetica font.

        "On her own website, however, the definition of success remains the same: being friends with Arianna Huffington."

        But not marrying the right sugar daddy?

          Publisher controls her press to protect a friend. Scandalous.

            To be fair to HuffPo that charity ranking CEO does not know the meaning of windfall.

              Nothing new here. Just how timidly they covered the whole AOL CEO says retirement plan is kaput because women get pregnant debacle. The HuffPo Technology section is the fucking worst. Most uninformed, nausea inducing, like nails on a board, piece of crap. If ink wasn't expensive, I would print it to use it for toilet paper.
