More likely they don't like the fact that the Huffington Post as gone more centralist since the sale. She's losing her base by doing so.

And her base only makes up a small percentage of the voting population but in general, all mainstream publications are losing people. People are starting to wake up to the fact that it's all a stupid game except the hardcore wingnuts on the left and right on this board and in the U.S. in general

Kind of answers the question about who really is to extreme for the mainstream doesn't it.

Do you seriously think that AOL would have paid 315 million for Huffington Post if they didn't think it had a good base of readers? The percentage of voting population has nothing to do with selling ad space on a well read website.

Good. I hate that hag, and the gaggle of wackos that write for that thing. It's nothing more than a group of warped bloggers. Journalism it is not.

General Electric dumps a lot of money on MSNBC even though they have a tiny percentage of the viewers that FNC has. Your point?

It has nothing to do with the huffington post which is quite successful, everyone knows AOL is a sinking ship.
