Huffington Post is a poorly designed website
It's speed and design make it look and feel like a website from 10 years ago. It's like I'm just waiting to see a headline that says "Bush and Gore trade accusations" any minute now.

1. If it doesn't have boobs or extreme violence, it ain't news.
HuffPo is based on the British Tabloid model.

Not journalism.

10. I agree.
I have to hit the back button repeatedly to go back to the prior page. And it takes forever to load. When it does load the page always shifts under my cursor.

Frustrating.

11. I hate it.

It looks like a trashy discount store, with clutter in the aisles that make it difficult to navigate.

14. Too slow to load, for me. If I want to scroll down the page, it's a lengthy multi-step process.

15. Poor Moderators...I got banned for disputing something a teabagger said
so tea-baggers,and right wing trolls can post all the crap they want but I get banned for disputing what they said. I emailed HP many times, no response...
