    Does anyone read HuffPost any more?

    I mean, it used to be (fairly) decent at aggregating liberal-ish news.

    Today? It's full of bullshit-Ariana-fluff like her "thrive" garbage. And Jenny McCarthy.

    Who reads this garbage?

      It's a vanity publication. No more, no less. Ariana herself seems to admit that.

      Yeah. She's trying to be the "White Greek Oprah," but it isn't working. Plus, she's too into this New Age garbage for anyone's good....ugh.

      Friends don't let friends read HuffPost.

    When Chez Pazienza used to do pieces for her, that was one of his frequent complaints. You just did not talk shit about her friends. He posted it pretty openly on his Deusexmalcontent website, but since he's moved over to The Daily Banter, I'm not sure how much of his stuff is still accessible.

    The Huffington Post has a newsroom? Is it like Comedy Central's World News Headquarters?

      More like Fox News' "Brain Room" — lose your claim check and you don't get your brain back.

      I love that they call it the Brain Room. To differentiate it from all the other rooms that are lacking in brains.

    I went from hating her as a Republican (ish— when she was married to that bisexual Californian) to really appreciating her contribution during the Iraq War...
    ...and now I'm convinced she's a TOTAL hack. I can't disclose fully, but: she's sloppy. Doesn't do her research.
    It is a mistake to ascribe any quasi-journalistic qualities to her; THERE'S NO VENN DIAGRAM THERE.

      How dare you say "Bisexual Californian!" it's redundant.

      I'm Midwestern so we're a bit behind.
      "PANsexual Californian." Better?

    Fareed Zakaria and Lululemon? Way to choose the hill on which to die, so to speak. Seems like plainly trifling shit to me.

      I'm expecting her to soon jump back to the GOP boat now there's a Republican super majority.

          One time Arianna went ape shit over a Yelp review that was critical of her favorite food truck's tzatziki.

            I am curious. Why is it, pray tell, that it is always some other media outlet breaking stories and never Gawker - My impression of what life must be like at Gawker: a cabal of re-hash curators sipping lattes in a soho loft, making snark about other people and lamely high fiving like frat boys, but with a pseudo-liberal bent.
