This is a news site that also has a strong editorial point of view. Most of the critics, that oppose the ideas editorialized on this site, have used this ranking system to give an inaccurate portrait of Huffington Post. In using the ranking system the way they have, they have undermined their own credibility by incorrectly identifying www.huffingtonpost.com as a "Hateful, violent or illegal content.. What this means is that they are highly biased and hateful themselves or uninformed about what really is a dangerous site. Either way, their opinions are highly questionable. Many will disagree with the point of view of huffingtonpost.com but to jump from that to calling it "illegal" is quite a stretch. I think this is a form of dishonesty on their part and consequently, I think their ratings should be disregarded.
Ads galore. Unless you know how to block them, good luck navigating. I see more and more sleazy articles on HuffingtonPost these days. More like a cheap tabloid anymore.
