I saw here a couple of weeks ago about a writer's (I think) strike against Huffington Post, and few posters here linking to that site. I am now seeing many more links...Is the strike settled?

1. It was a general labor thing because of HP's horrible treatment of their writers... |
|
Including their labor correspondent getting thrown off the site after doing some articles they didn't like.
As far as I'm aware, the picket line has NOT been called off.

I will continue to not click on HP's links, then.

3. And you get the side benefit of not reading a bunch of tabloid bullshit. :) |
|
Which seems to be all HP puts out these days: sensationalistic headlines and celebrity gossip. Ugh.

4. Huff Po alwasys played havoc with my browser |
|
I have adblock and apparently all the crap they tried to load in the background freaked it out.. I would usually just click out of it:) Daily Kos does the same thing.. I just don;t ever go to those sites:)
