Dan Abrams is puzzled. “Did Huffington Post suddenly change its model as a result of its sale to Aol?” he asks. “Are they now refusing to pay bloggers and editors they had been paying for years?

    Excellent! Like a whorehouse (or, euphemistically, an “escort service”) madam, Arianna Huffington pimped the likes of the willing Cherie Turner and others of the “write for free” movement to the tune of $315 million. Arianna is living the American dream.

    Disrespectful and unfair to whom?

    Well, duh. The writers and bloggers made it the go-to news organization it became — and only Arianna benefits financially? That’s disrespectful and unfair.
