This writer has a great eye for topics relevant to current cultural issues that not many wish to touch. She writes about contemporary artists, ethnography, the somehow taboo issue of women's rights and other cultural events.

This writer for the Huffington Post is quick to surmise the issues at hand and her analysis is spot on. I hope to see more articles in the future!

It's obvious that their point of view is completely biased and dangerous for society. Their articles are pure left and they are that close minded that they keep deleting comments on their own post. Purely pathetic.

Huffington Post started out as a respectable publication. I recall the early days when articles contained information, not strictly opinion, and were fairly distributed amongst the variety of ideologies readers hold. It has become a press rag... a lot of words, some controversial photos, blog after blog which are nothing more than some tilted writers' narrow opinion... not even worth a second pint if one were to hear them in a pub. I asked myself today why I still have it as a bookmarked site and my answer was, "That ends now." Since being purchased by AOL and expanding into nearly every geographical region globally, it's become almost unreadable. Errors, lack of editing, opinion hiding as fact, repetition by publishing the same stories... not just in another day or week; these are being published on the same date on the same front page! Just a complete and total waste of time for anyone who wants credible information without hype, lies, and laziness. I'd give it minus stars if I could but had to provide at least one, so one is what they get from me. Read it if you must but suggest a follow-up from credible publications before placing bets on anything HP publishes.

Absolute Bias to the left
November 15, 2016

Absolute Bias to the left, complete utta rubbish being posted and encouraging hate especially after the latest 2016 US elections and the 2016 UK EU Referendum. Huffington Post seems to want to MAKE THE NEWS than to report it. Many of their authors are childish and not professional at all.

Doesn't get any worse than this. Stay away!
This site and the writers has a great phoney beloney to keep on being ignorant.
Great job!
Keep on working and humiliating yourself.

Considering the opinionated language and a rather oblivious attitude towards any form of objective reporting, the most accurate and honest comparison of Huffington Post would be with Breitbart News.

Update - It seems Huff Post have removed the single redeeming feature of their website. I'm waiting for them to reply to my email, but the comments facility seems to have been removed.

Huff post is quite left wing and liberal. They like immigrants and DIVERSITY, they dislike Brexit (they're pro europe). Huff P seems to hate white males, and will champion anything to do with anything else (feminazi's, LGBT, list goes on). Their diversity seems to be that anything *other* than white males is good, and is a victim.

They seem to censor any views which are contrary to their own agenda. (unlike the BBC who censor any views which are against the house rules. But then again, the BBC doesn't let you comment on everything. Then again, half the stories on Huff have '0 comments', which might make you wonder how many other comments they have censored)

Huff Post employs something which reddit calls 'shadow bans/censors'. That is, if you use a censored word (like 'muslim', or 'liberal' - seriously) your post will still appear to your own login but won't appear to anyone else. So unless you log out and view the page, you won't know you've been censored. Then you figure out which word has been censored, and either edit or delete/edit/repost it. Spread the word.

Huff Posts left-wing stance does get so mildly irritating sometimes, that even the Daily Mail's website can be a refreshing break.

Huffpost actively censors. Including the word 'censor'. And they have a list of usernames they censor, so if you post something they don't like, they'll be monitoring for your comments (it does actually say this in the T's & C's of the website).

Interesting stats https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/huffingtonpost.co.uk (alexa.com is less useful than it used to be)
