What's the deal with the HuffingtonPost?

One article attacks Hillary, Edwards, and Obama because some employees at Fox News sent them donations. And, another article attacks Obama because he listed people that bought his merchandise as donors (which is the law).

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2007/07/16/hillary-clinton-shuns-fox_n_56495.html

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/17/us/politics/17obama.html?ex=1342324800&en=580de5f1c54fcc00&ei=5090&partner=rssuserland&emc=rss

These articles are bullshit, and Arianna is hightlighting them. What gives?

Now they have one attacking Obama for getting a lot of his donations from the financial sector. Is that his fault?

Isn't this just nit-picking the donors to find a story. Is it Hillarys, Obamas, or Edwards fault that someone, who they probably never met, donated to their campaign?

1. Arriana is not a Democrat

and she used to be a right wing pundit.

she describes herself as a "former right-winger who has evolved into a compassionate and progressive populist".

Maybe she sees herself as "progressive", I'm not so sure.

5. That's why she doesn't like HRC, Obama or Edwards, then.

Any progressive populist knows those three are corporate shills - even though Edwards doth protest too much.

2. FEC reports provide ammo and people are quick to use it.

6. Ariana is (or claims to be) an "independent"

That way she can bash EVERYBODY :) Ariana is out for Ariana.
