"Inform, Inspire, Entertain, Empower"
The Huffington Post is described as a "politically liberal American news and opinion website and blog", and was launched on May 9, 2005. It was founded by Andrew Breitbart, Arianna Huffington, Kenneth Lerer, Jonah Peretti. Its stance is a political challenger to other, more conservative outlets. Originally independent, it has operated under AOL since 2011.
"...the Huffington Post built its speed and strength as a news "aggregator," sniffing out items from thousands of sites across the Web and posting links to articles that fit its left-of-center editorial approach. And it mixed in a generous helping of celebrity gossip to keep readers coming back."
