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?
