Bloggers have been coming and going very rapidly over at Huffington Post since Arianna Huffington sold out to AOL last month. There has been mounting speculation about the death of the once liberal-leaning HuffPo in light of editorial changes. Well, we can now confirm that the old HuffPo is dead and something hideous is sprouting in its place. We know this because of the revelation today that right-wing extremist Andrew Breitbart is now blogging for Huffington.
And what has Breitbart chosen to write about in is premiere post? His friend James O’Keefe.The latest James O’Keefe success story against NPR has taken a predictable pattern — panicked press releases and firings, followed by denunciation of O’Keefe in a belated attempt to discredit him. Naturally, conservatives are crowing about it, but I wanted to give a little perspective to those Huffington Post readers — whatever your political stripe — who share my passion for free speech, honest debate, and fairness in the media.

Once again, I'm way ahead of the curve.
Not only because prison is actually bad enough, but because to applaud rape in prison is to condone its use as tool for social control out of prison.
Otherwise yes, I share your concern that Huffington might now feel responsible for bringing in a larger pool of advertisers, which in turn means "broadening" editorial content the way CNN, Time Warner, and even MSNBC have. I.e. one Rachel Maddow, and no Kieth Olbermann, and lots of Andrew Breitbart. $^%!#$!
