I can't take Huffington Post seriously.

[Radical Activist]

Every time I click on a link to Huffington Post I see side bar stories and headlines about celebrity news and gossip. That kind of crap is why I don't watch TV news. How am I supposed to take Huff Post seriously as a source of news and opinion when they fill their site with the same corporate media celebrity trash I'm trying to get away from?

I don't bookmark it. I don't read it regularly. I don't intend to. It completely destroys their credibility with me. Isn't there enough of that celebrity/entertainment fluff around without Huffington Post pushing it too?

1. I don't read it much either, but for a differant reason

Site is sooo slow to load up and browse, probably due to all the corporate crap lol

3. And there are lots of people who are NOT serious news junkies

who love it. I am interested in hard and soft news and I love that they cover both.

6. They have some excellent commentary and very up-to-date news. No complaints

from me. And Arianna was one of my favorite commentators during the election runup--she and Katrina Vanden Heuvel.

The sidebars are eye candy for those of us who don't want ALL BLEAK ALL THE TIME.

I guess it's a matter of taste.

For me it's DU, HuffPo, Wonkette, Firedoglake, Kos, Digby. No wonder my wife says I have become a slave to the internets. And then there's Rachel Maddow on the tube. Tonight she had excellent coverage of the Southern Republicans who are stopping the Big 3 loans. She had an interesting question: Why are the Democrats not forcing the Republicans to filibuster that bill? The ringleaders are all from states with foreign car companies.

But, I digress.

8. I don't go there.

Before I left months ago they seemed to be really into censoring/deleting posts for little or no reason.

Didn't care for the format either.

Quite a few wingnuts there as well spewing rubbish and trying to get attention.

10. Gotta capture eyeballs if you want to sell ads. Have to sell ads to pay the bills.

11. I guess you don't read or watch any news at all...

if your main criteria is a lack of anything you find silly or irrelevant.

(Me, I stopped buying the New York times because they have sports section I don't read)

12. Online and my local paper.

The corporate press is mostly a waste of time and gives people a distorted view of the world.
