    Default AOL buying Huff post

    News Busters is reporting that AOL is buying The Huffington Post for 315 million. Apparently Adrianna Huffington will remain at the helm.
    Question I have, who gains in the deal.
    Does the Huff Post gain a little credibility?
    Does AOL lose credibility?
    I don't know much about AOL news, but I am familiar with the Post.
    Whats to gain by this purchase?

    ariana gains a heck of a lot. She is trying to set the huffington post up as the paper of record.
    If we were as industrious to become good as to make ourselves great, we should become really great by being good, and the number of valuable men would be much increased; but it is a grand mistake to think of being great without goodness; and i pronounce it as certain that there was never yet a truly great man that was not at the same time truly virtuous." - Ben Franklin

    Imagine what good we can do if we all joined together, united as followers of Christ - M. Russell Ballard

    It pretty much already is for leftists.

    Ariana Huffington hs been prominent in Republican and Democratic partisan politics. Her leadership at the Post has been and I expect to remain extraordinary.
