Arianna Huffington

• August 11 --
Puffing Up Huffington
Two stories on California’s surreal governor’s race try to make Arianna
Huffington more palatable, calling her “populist” and “progressive.” Would it
kill the Times to call the liberal Huffington “liberal?”
• August 7 -- The Running Man
The Times story on California’s recall vote notes Sen. Feinstein is out, while
action-hero Arnold and “populist” Arianna are in, and offers its readers snob
appeal: “Instead of talking about issues like nuclear proliferation and
appropriations, as Ms. Feinstein did, Mr. Schwarzenegger made light of his
decision to run….” And is Arianna Huffington really a populist independent or
just another left-winger?
