Arianna Huffington is one of the great self-promoters of our present age,rivaling her precursor Clair Booth Luce in the scope and reach of her political/business ambition. She pays her core staff and then gets the other posters to work for free, for the prestige of appearing on the Huffington Post. She learned that at the knee of the great fake ‘Economist’ and apostle of greed and apologists for thieves Milton Friedman.This could be the root of her addiction to the notion of transcending the ‘politics of left and right’ as no longer viable.Her site is a self-conscious arm of the Democratic Party meaning that it is a propaganda arm of ‘progressive’ Democrats which, in sum, means the timid New Democratic rule of Mr. Obama. Now, the shaping of the public conversation by selective censorship and outright manipulation of ‘progressive’ opinionators, on her site, places her in the same category as Sam Zell and Rupert Murdoch and the other manipulators of the public consciousness for political ends.
