» ‘The rapacious Ms. Huffington seems to believe that journalism skills are worth nothing’ JIMROMENESKO.COM

» ‘The rapacious Ms. Huffington seems to believe that journalism skills are worth nothing’ JIMROMENESKO.COM:

"‘THE RAPACIOUS MS. HUFFINGTON SEEMS TO BELIEVE THAT JOURNALISM SKILLS ARE WORTH NOTHING’

David Sze, who works for Arianna Huffington, sent this note to veteran journalist Lauren Lipton last week:"

This. is. epic. What a great response. Lauren Lipton spoke for all of us, "I am very, very good at what I do. Unfortunately, your boss’s predatory business practices have deeply undercut the ability of all reporters, writers and editors to make any kind of living wage. The rapacious Ms. Huffington seems to believe that journalism skills are worth nothing, and that my beleaguered colleagues and I should be thrilled to help her make hundreds of millions of dollars in return for “exposure.”

I was at the house of an elderly couple I work for, and while I was there they came home followed by a Maryland state trooper.

I thought maybe she had made a wrong -lane change or something of this nature. I made my way up from behind the house to see what was going on.

I was very surprised to see the trooper helping the elderly wife get her husband and into a wheelchair."
