When did The Huffington Post become such a joke? Was it before or after AOL acquired it? When the site first came around, I enjoyed the hell out of it. Now, their only concerns seem to be attention-grabbing headlines (that are often misleading), celebrity nip slips, and getting readers to click as often as possible on their site so they can generate more ad revenue.

As a journalist, I’ve always hated HuffPo because of their blatant aggregation of content and passing it off as their own. At least the Gawker sites attribute clearly and provide analysis whereas HuffPo just rambles.

I still read it but it’s not as good after AOL bought it. Instead, read thinkprogress.org and motherjones.com

AOL certainly sped up the decline.

I know I used to read it in college so much when it first came out. Now I just ignore it.
