People such as Arianna Huffington either kid themselves that they are 'progressive' but not politically 'left' or else they know exactly where they stand, politically, but also realize that admitting it would be detrimental to getting their views considered and not simply dismissed, as the left dismisses anything that isn't toe-the-line liberal, er, 'progressive'. I believe Arianna Huffington is in the latter group. She also fools no one (with even half a brain).

These two are a couple of pigeons rolling around a McDonald's parking lot fighting over a french fry.

Print Newspapers are dying as is AOL, though the deal was very good to Arianna.
