Bozell Reacts to AOL Buyout of Huffington Post on 'Fox & Friends'
On Friday's "Fox & Friends," NewsBusters publisher Brent Bozell and Fox News host Steve Doocy discussed the recent sale of the liberal Huffington Post blog to AOL.
"I'm going to buy popcorn, I'm going to watch this meltdown," a gleeful Bozell told Doocy.
Huffington, who will be editor-in-chief for the new AOL venture, is "not going to get along with anybody," perpetually clashing with AOL executives, Bozell predicted. "It's going to be a complete meltdown, just you watch."

She married a rich guy, and when he dumped her for a man, she got $ millions in the divorce.
Ariana Huffington is like George Soros, but not as rich yet.

virtually the same thing about four posts below?
Maybe Mr. Bozell can go on America's Newsroom, America Live, Cavuto, Beck, Baier, Shep, O'reilly and Greta and repeat the same stuff so he'll have every Fox daypart covered.
Swirling the drain

AOL , Inc. is not really profitable right now. And they don't look to have any growth going forward. By paying $315 million for an enterprise that has no hard assets, and whose value is entirely based on intangibles like goodwill, AOL is simply accelerating their inevitable death spiral.
Liberal groupthink behaviour is prone to fads, and the Huffington website traffic is all liberals. In a year or two, the Huffington website traffic will dwindle to nothing. And any advertising revenues it might have generated will dry up. AOL shareholders will never see a dime of return on this $315 million.
Unless, of course, AOL management has some sort of ACORN or GE fairness doctrine type stimulus cash deal in the works with the Obama administration........

Complete Meltdown where have you been?

The complete meltdown started even before Obama was sworen in. The satle of newsweek for a dollar was a milestone in the meltdown. Huffington will be a relatively minor problem in what Time/Warner faces in the future.
