The Oracle

New Yorker by Lauren Collins | Oct. 7, 2008 (Special Report)
The many lives of Arianna Huffington.

Although Huffington was known as a conservative for most of her life, the Huffington Post is a kind of liberal foil to the Drudge Report. According to Nielsen Online, in February it drew 3.7 million unique visitors, surpassing Drudge for the first time. Its advertisers have included Starbucks, Volkswagen, Home Depot, and the Times. In August, the site logged 5.1 million unique visitors. This election season, both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama—whom ... Full Story »

Few publications can match the excellent profiles of The New Yorker. Ms. Collins has produced a stylishly written, extensively researched, long, excellent profile of Arianna Huffington.

I love this story, but admit that I am nuts about Arianna and boy has she changed since I first watched her on television. I think she was married to some rich Republican pervert back then.

I really like this site and Daily Kos and Buzzflash and dozens of others and I think they fill a great void on the Internet because the mass media is not to be trusted, especially the electronic media. Cable and the Networks are the pits and full of liars and prevavicators. Olbermann and Maddow and Jack Cafferty are mostly the only decent newscaters going.
