Amazing Disgrace: The ‘Pride’ of the Huffington Post
- rdancer 11y agoBy not paying their writers, they have created an environment in which ideologically driven and intellectually depleted content thrives. Is that a bad thing? Other outlets within the same market have been dumbing down their content and churning fact-free and tact-free copy. Unfortunately, I have not been paying attention to English-speaking media for long enough to know if this is a trend, if it ever was otherwise. (Except for the budget cuts—newspapers certainly do remember more lavish days.) If bad journalists are willing to work for free, why pay good journalists to be bad?
