Revision as of 20:24, 3 June 2005 by Rishiboy (talk | contribs) (notoriety -> spelling)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)The Huffington Post is a group weblog and news site started by Arianna Huffington on May 9, 2005.
It is notable because many celebrities contribute to it, although there are also many other posters who have achieved neither fame nor notoriety.
Although the blog tilts to the left (and is very American-centric in coverage), there is some representation from the right as well. Similarly, though the general tenor of the blog has been strongly anti-Iraq War there is some neo-conservative opinion as well.
Some critics contend that Ms. Huffington was missing the point of a blog. Celebrities, they said, already have many venues through which to express their opinions.
