What Exactly Is The Huffington Post?
This I didn't know:
[If] political coverage gets the most attention in Washington, more than half
Huffington Post’s
traffic is driven by gossip and entertainment stories. The day the
Froomkin news broke, for example, the site’s most popular story wasn’t
about health care - it was “American Flag Bikini Moments: What’s YOUR
Favorite?” Indeed, the Washington City Paper’s Amanda Hess called
attention to the sometimes schizophrenic nature of the site in a recent
piece: “Liberal Politics, Sexist Entertainment.” Similarly, columnist
Simon Dumenco, last month in AdAge, wrote that the Huffington Post
“likes to pretend that it's a respectable voice in the mediasphere, but
it shamelessly pumps up its traffic by being just as trashy as, say,
Maxim.”
