And why I stopped using my AOL email account. AOL bought HuffPo in February 2011 and began pushing it as their Go To News site.
Googling “AOL buys HuffPo” got me these two statements:
- AOL said, “AOL is buying Huffington Post, the news and culture website, in a deal that catapults AOL into a new stratosphere of a genuine media company.”
- The Wall Street Journals said, “AOL Buys Huffington Post: Is It Crazy?”
So about that claim that Huffington Post is a “news” website …
June 2013: The Filibuster Heard ‘Round the World
Texas State Senator Wendy Davis became a national darling of the left when she filibustered against a Texas State law that would halt the dismemberment and poisoning of pain-capable fetuses (i.e., post 20 weeks gestation).
HuffPo was among the many “news” media that declared Davis a hero … despite the fact that her filibuster accomplished nothing more than to catapult her and her pink running shoes into the national limelight. After she shut up, the law passed.
Sept 2013: Cruz Hijacks Senate ‘Til I’m Unable to Stand’
Texas Senator Ted Cruz was ridiculed and dismissed by the left when he filibustered in favor of the House bill to fund everything in the federal government, except Obamacare. They sneeringly called it just a “long speech” and a “fauxlibuster” because his time on the floor wouldn’t delay any votes.
They neglected to mention that Democrat Majority Leader Senator Harry Reid was contemptuously refusing to even permit a vote on the House bill. The only vote Reid wants to come to the floor is to vote to fund EVERYTHING or NOTHING.
The House bill approved funding for everything EXCEPT Obamacare.
