I quit reading HuffPo a couple of years ago, but largely because just about anyone who can compose grammatically correct sentences can be published there as long as they’re willing to do it for free. Yes, there is some actual journalism there, but there’s also a whole lot of extremely biased, misleading, click-baity, self promotion attempting bullshit, and I don’t really feel like trying to figure out who the real journalists are there so I can ignore the rest. It’s easier to just ignore the whole website. And I do feel like it is as biased on the left as Fox is on the right, and that’s another reason I ignore it. I am not center left. I am left left. Really left. Far enough that my own biases concern me sometimes. So I avoid obviously far left leaning publications, because I don’t want to lose touch with the fact that my views are not mainstream.
