The Huffington Post is a massive blog and news website that was founded in May 2005 by Ariana Huffington and Kenneth Lerer. In addition to posting news stories, the Post offers a social commentary from a liberal perspective. The articles and blog entries throughout the site are written by a variety of different authors, all with a relatively similar position on the political spectrum. The front page includes all of the top stories and popular articles from that day, and from there the site is organized by several categories including politics, media, business, and entertainment. Clicking on one of these categories will give the reader an array of articles on that particular subject.
Although it obviously should not be taken as a reliable news source, The Huffington Post is what it is, and it serves its purpose well. Though I personally would not consider myself liberal by any means, the writing throughout the site is good enough that one can enjoy reading it without agreeing with what is being said. The site is also extremely organized, allowing readers to quickly find blog entries on any subject that they want. All and all, the Huffington Post is one of the better blogs that I’ve come across, and though I probably will not make a habit of visiting it, I would certainly recommend it to people that are looking for liberal social commentary on world events.
