Arianna Huffington always likes to seem like she's above it all but if she wants to continue that kind of attitude, she really needs to talk to the people running her "Huffington Post". I've had a problem with it for some time because instead of being what a news blog should be, it's just a left wing propoganda machine (basically the mirror image of The Drudge Report). The latest example is arguably the ugliest.

The Huffington Post cited The National Enquirer and their story about Cindy McCain's supposedly having an affair. Making matters worse, "a reader" (not sure if its a reader of the Huffington Post or National Enquirer) pointed out that the charge seems erroneous since the supposed damning evidence (a picture of a blonde making out with some dude) was taken at The Tempe Music Festival which took place while Cindy McCain was on a trip to Kosovo.

When a reader points something like that out, don't you remove the story from your site? Wouldn't you at least make some calls and do some actual reporting? Ah well, I should have known better than to keep going to that website. It's just a shame that someone of Huffington's intelligence and prominence couldn't have found a way to make a difference and promote quality journalism rather than just being a different kind of partisan hackery.
