Today it had a picture on its front page...of a 1000 pound woman. I didn't understand it. I had never seen anything like that ever..
What is this doing there?.Is this legit?.Is the picture real???..why put this up..?
Even the National Enquirer does not go there, not on the front page...But the Huff Post goes there..This is just another kind
of pornography that insults and disgusts..This is my last mention that site ever...done.

(53,743 posts)They are very much right leaning compared to their pre-merger/money grab days. And I'm guessing that the progressive commenters that used to post there have moved on just like I have because they have some real wing nuts posting there now.

(58,179 posts)When I manage BuzzFlash, I post good HuffPo stories all the time. But I go link by link, things I find on other boards or blogs, stuff that gets emailed to me, etc.
I can honestly say that I have not seen the front page of HuffPo in a year.
Sounds like that's for the best.

(21,060 posts)For some reason I have been pegged that whenever I put in a comment some troll comes after me viciously. When I respond back to their attacks my comments don't get past the moderator. One guy found me on Facebook and it got real ugly. I stopped posting and now only post on non political things if at all on HP. But I am weaning myself off HP and DU is my #1 site and I find I get just as good information if not better news.
