A decade after its launch, profits for the Huffington Post remain elusive — but founder and Chairman Arianna Huffington drew a media Who’s Who to the Gramercy Terrace on Monday night to celebrate the news site’s 10th anniversary.

AOL CEO Tim Armstrong recalled that when his company’s $315 million deal to buy HuffPo was announced in 2011, AOL’s stock price immediately tumbled 30 percent. It closed at $21.19 at the end of the first day of trading after the announcement.

Just like all "Progressive" media outlets, (think MSNBC), left-wing babble doesn't sell, but continues to be funded by rich liberals.

Yahoo! has outed itself as another HuffPo for all intents and purposes.

Perhaps Colonel Musturd (aka George Soros) can provide a clue.

Nothing new. It even extended to print media as rich families like the Hursts burned down their family fortunes as their flagship newspapers died.

Liberal news and Fine Art both need rich patrons, because they don't have mass appeal.

I would like to see the Puff Ho nailed big time with a lawsuit concerning their involvement in the Indiana pizzeria episode.

Question: who is funding Huffington Post? At least here at Free Republic, the Freepathons have done a good job of keeping this web site going.

I do know that the New York Times has the investment from Carlos Slim Helú, one of the richest persons on Earth (and easily the richest person in Mexico) keeping that paper going.

Its a mystery because the fascist left doesn’t have to comply with disclosure laws...only the suckers are held accountable to “law”.

Huff-Po is far right when compared to the Communists at Yahoo.

I have my e-mail with AT&T which has web hosting agreements with Yahoo and their news and interests are 100% homosexual at all times. It is overwhelming.

I’m regretting my Yahoo! email accounts which have history I don’t want to lose. I just don’t want to offload it to another account just yet.

I have an extreme distaste for what Yahoo has turned into.

Reader’s Digest is another one.
All the quotes and musings in the magazine are made by liberals.

Colonel Flagg: This won't look good on your record.
Frank Burns: But Colonel, it's just Reader's Digest.
Colonel Flagg: Not if you eliminate the third, fifth, and sixth letters, then it's "Red's Digest", comrade.
