AOL Agrees To Acquire The Huffington Post


Wow. First Air America gone... Then Keith Olberman gone.. Now Huffington Post technicall­y gone. I understand­, from working for a local newspaper, that everything being proposed for the future is digital; but this marriage is over the top. I hate to think of it as a sell out, but hey, that is what it is. AOL is a poor excuse for delivering the news. It is getting it's clock cleaned by such outlets as Huffington Post, Google, and every local news website out there. Now Huffington Post will give it credibilit­y but will in the long run will loose its credibilty­.. This would be the equivilent of Variety merging with Wall Street Journal. If you are the one being bought - like Huffington Post is - then you are the one who will loose their identity. I hope you don't loose your identity - cause then you may leave your reader nowhere else to go.... Oh yeah - there always will be "Fair and Balanced" Fox news....yu­ck.
