Huffington Post is a well known site for half truths, demagoguery,
Democratic spin and propaganda. It is funded by billionaire George
Soros, a regular visitor to the White House. The reporting in the
H.P. is about on a par with a super market tabloid, and appeals to
the terminally ignorant.

There is no question HP leans well to the left, and that they have at
times given too much space to "alternative" medicine for example. However
a lot of what they post is taken from legit news sources
rather than being cooked up in their back room, and one can (and
should) follow up to see if any spin has been applied. At least with
HP there is usually a distinction between editorializing vs. news, in
contrast to right-wingnut sites like Newsmax or World Net Daily. As
always, it's wise to look for multiple sources and to be aware of the
political slant of each of them--something that probably doesn't
occur to many Fox viewers, who either don't know or don't care that
Fox is the de facto propaganda arm of the Republican Party.
I'd like to see credible evidence HP is funded by Soros.

It's irrelevant whether Soros is the puppet-master behind Huffington. In my
view, castigating Huffington because of its funding or NewsMax or Fox or
anybody else has nothing to do with the truthfulness of their reporting.

The things - the reports - should stand on their own.
