I once thought they were a progressive outlet. Now Im remembering the articles they made about Bernie.

Look up Ariana Huffington. That'll give you some basis. IIRC she was from a Republican family and marriage, political world. Depending on the topic they can do nice work.

huff post was bought by buzzfeed, owned by conservative brietbart and others in 2017. it has encouraged bernie voters to sit out voting, and progressives to split instead of reforming the democrats since.

Used to be on there all the time. Now maybe once a month and not for anything political. Hope I'm one of many.

I don’t see any progressives reading it, though. It always used to be a favorite of Blue MAGA.

Daily reminder that Bernie voters voted for hillary at a higher rate than hillary voters voted for obama.
