Do you think....

Huffington Post is loosing it? Most of their so-called news is old, rarely nothing "breaking." Way too much entertainment nightly news and the same articles over and over again. Just wondering.

They've always had a certain amount of crap, like their woo-soaked "health" page, but now it's pretty much taken over. When they run a real story, it's usually something I've read here or in the mainstream press, often several days earlier.

they were much better than what they have morphed into. Now they are crap and have been called, "Huffin-Puff" by Stephen Colbert and "Side-Boob Gazette" by Jon Stewart. I tend to agree with them. Removed them from my bookmarks list a couple years ago.
