Soros Buddy Funds HuffPo "Investigative Journalism" Fund
Arianna Huffington (L) with Code Pink co-founder Jodie Evans (R)
Internet gossip Arianna Huffington announced that her left-wing gossip website, the Huffington Post, is launching the Huffington Post Investigative Fund. She said on her site that
This nonprofit Fund will produce a wide-range of investigative journalism created by both staff reporters and freelance writers.
As the newspaper industry continues to contract, one of the most commonly voiced fears is that serious investigative journalism will be among the victims of the scaleback. And, indeed, many newspapers are drastically reducing their investigative teams. Yet, given the multiple crises we are living through, investigative journalism is all the more important. As a result, all who recognize the indispensable role good journalism plays in our democracy are looking for ways to preserve it during this transitional period for the media. For too long, whether it's coverage of the war in Iraq or the economic meltdown, we've had too many autopsies and not enough biopsies. The HuffFund is our attempt to change this. It will also provide new opportunities for seasoned journalists who have been laid off or forced into early retirement. [...]
The program's startup budget will be $1.75 million. The money will be provided by the Huffington Post and the Atlantic Philanthropies. The Bermuda-based Atlantic Philanthropies is headed by Gara LaMarche, who used to be a vice president of liberal uber-philanthropist George Soros's Open Society Institute. LaMarche is a member of Soros's Democracy Alliance, a billionaires' club that is organizing to impose socialism on America.
Will the new program fund anything other than left-wing hit pieces? Your guess is as good as mine.

It's going to be all Obama propaganda all the time. Have you ever read anything on HuffPo that wasn't BS?

I hate CODE PINK. Anti-American scum.

Huffington has no journalistic standards. HuffPo is a rag of the worst sort. Always sensationalized crap and almost always pro-liberal. They're always taking liberals at their word but challenging conservatives to prove everything to the endth degree.

The HuffPo Investigation Group can start with the New York Times' cover-up of the Obama-Acorn fundraising link during the 2008 campaign.

Pravda? Izvestia? Huffpo?
Mike| 4.1.09 @ 9:12AM
So????
Who is funding all of the right wing on-line journals and think tanks?
And, what about the first amendment?
A plague on the extreme right and the extreme left.
Long live the sensible center.
JHarpIsATroll| 4.1.09 @ 10:07AM
Mike, you are an idiot. The First Amendment relates to governmental action. You are such a bad writer it is not even clear what you are bitching about above.
