Is anyone else cheering on John Mayer?

[realisticphish]

He's attacking HuffPo for some tabloid stuff which really doesn't matter, but I just love seeing HuffPo criticized.

If only they never again wrote a science story, I would be back on their side

1. I wasn't aware that they'd ever written a science story.

If it's not by Chopra and Weil, or if it isn't an expose of Snooki or Paris Hilton, then I didn't think HuffPo even bothered.

I'm not thrilled with Mayer overall, but if he's attacking HuffPo, then I say kudos to him.


It might be the most over-praised high-profile "Leftist" site on the internets.

2. yeah, i really don't get the praise

their political stuff is ok, I suppose, but it's nothing spectacular.

3. I can't believe that they give Mercola a column to push his snake oil

(and from what I can tell, he works in references to his shit CONSTANTLY) and they have the NERVE to whine about Pharma ethics? They are every bit as bad as someone like Pfizer.

4. One of my most hated arguments

is that ridiculous one about "Big Pharma is all about the money!!!!"

Because the totally unregulated industry that sells you moose dandruff at $900 an ounce is totally about the people, man

5. What about HuffPo giving Frank Luntz a blog?

It's like giving somebody from the Nixon administration a key to your bathroom.
