As a contributor to The Huffington Post since 2008, I have posted 25 original articles that I value at more than $25,000, for free.
So eager to have a platform for my stories about U. S. soldiers returning from Iraq with Cancer, I didn’t ask for payment; I merely handed over the 20 to 30 hours of reporting on each piece gratis.
Over that period, I had asked Arianna Huffington several times for financial support. But after being referred to the D.C. based Huffington Post Investigative Fund as a candidate for payment, I was turned down by the fund, as well as by Executive Editor Roy Sekoff .

lol yeah my reaction too
That’s why they call you people “useful idiots.” Duh.
When they start complaining though they switch from ‘useful’ to ‘useless’. The other part stays the same though.
This is a learning experience for them. You must understand your place in society. You did your job for the cause and we thank you! You know now that the beautiful people are in charge of you and are learning of whats to come.
useful idiot comes to mind.
How gullible of these writers to think that Ariana was going to share her millions with them. Leftists always hand out other people’s money, while grabbing as much for themselves as they can.
So they wrote for free and now they’re bent out of shape over someone profitting from it?
Good luck with your little revolt, fella. It won’t work because there’s an endless supply of liberals who feel instead of think, are powered by narcisism, are loyal only to their own beliefs, and are idiots.
Liberals are the most vile of creatures. They pretend to care about “the working class” but when it comes down to it, what liberals really want is money or improvement of their own situation.
Ariana Huffington meet Micheal Moore.
Greedy little bugger — should work for the liberal cause for free. Serving the communist revolution in Amerika is enough reward, isn’t it?
ha ha ha ha! Dumb@ss.
Ole Zsa Zsa sold them down the river... LOL.
Whiny butt! From each according to their ability......
The beatings will be stepped up until moral improves!
Hmmm.... in the open market the published value of the tripe is 0, nothing, nada
The man should go give his stuff to TIME to save his reputation
Homeboy thinks his literary talents are worth $33-$50 an hour.
Proof that stupidity and high self esteem can be best buddies.
Pretty funny to read these lefty marxists now wanting to be paid....right up there with Michael Moore suing go get money.
Hmm, let’s see. HuffPo becomes famous and popular because of volunteer authors.
HuffPo gets so famous and popular it gets bought for .3 billion.
Volunteer authors bail.
Where does HuffPo get material to remain famous and popular?
