What is Digg?388 Comments
- rebrad, on 02/20/2009, -91/+457Engineering the truth is nothing new for Huffpo.
- brbeaird, on 02/20/2009, -68/+338Yet another credibility fail for the Huffpo. Who does this crap, honestly? There are plenty of other things about Fox News one can take issue about without having to lie and make fake video edits.
- dekuscrub, on 02/20/2009, -63/+297Unbelievable. Where is the outrage?
Can you imagine if a conservative blog posted a doctored video? It would be on the Digg front page within minutes. - btschul, on 02/20/2009, -78/+278The Huffington Propaganda.
- RonPauls, on 02/20/2009, -62/+252Huffpo is an EPIC FAIL
- adcdl, on 02/20/2009, -47/+197Sadly Huffpo continues to get a lot of diggs here.
- punx, on 02/20/2009, -64/+173And Obama honors these people as "true" journalists. I think for the dems, that would be an accurate description. Huffpo: redefining journalist integrity for the Obamanation.
- epublicus, on 02/20/2009, -49/+147If you are one of the "illuminati" that receives your information, or any part of it, from the Huffington Post; Please, in the future, use a condom.
- jetboyterp, on 02/20/2009, -46/+123Funny too...The Huff&Puffers don't even care that it's fake.
Couple of comments from the FOX-deranged nutballs:
"I personally don't care if the video is a fake or not.
Fox itself is devoid of any criteria recommending it as a credible news source."
And...
"Whether or not the video was doctored or not, I think it is still a major indictment of Fox news that the possibility of the clip being authentic was within the realm of possibility."
Since when are the Lefties ever concerned with...the truth? - minoss, on 02/20/2009, -4/+77When that happens, you get 6000 diggs:

- Smaulz, on 02/20/2009, -18/+88Comment from that "apology":
"Whether or not the video was doctored or not, I think it is still a major indictment of Fox news that the possibility of the clip being authentic was within the realm of possibility. Many people believed it because of Fox's tendency to play fast and loose with the truth. And that's a Fact!!!"
It's okay to lie, because people believe it?
(Not directed at you moulin1, just wanted to keep this with the link you posted) - inactive, on 02/20/2009, -46/+110A news aggregator OF the gullible, BY the gullible, and FOR the gullible . . . shall not be coerced to apologize.
- ericthegreat, on 02/20/2009, -14/+78They are why Digg needs domain based filters so we users can choose to ignore information from sites we know will be garbage. How I long for the day where I no longer have to see their stories on the front page.
- cop1991, on 02/20/2009, -29/+92Wait what? HuffPo isn't fact? Everything I know on digg is a lie?
- robbyjo, on 02/20/2009, -16/+78It's actually their specialty.
- inactive, on 02/20/2009, -29/+85Let's just clear this up:
Merriam Webster definition of "Fact Check"
Main Entry: fact–check
Pronunciation: \ˈfak(t)-ˌchek\
Function: transitive verb
Date: 1973
: to verify the factual accuracy of <fact–check the article before publication>
— fact–check·er \-ˌche-kər\ noun
Huffington should place a want ad for one. - JAVandiver, on 02/20/2009, -13/+67So why isn't Media Matters decrying the evils of the Huffington Post? Oh, wait. They are both funded by George Soros!
- dafragsta, on 02/20/2009, -21/+74Anyone who has ever heard Ariana Huffington speak about blogging would know she's a hack and doesn't give a flying ***** about anything she talks about.
- PuterPrsn, on 02/20/2009, -13/+64First, Huffington Post is NOT "big media"
Second, no, they don't. They snip and cut to suit their fancy, leaving out things they don't want you to hear, but they don't voice-over with stuff that wasn't there. - inactive, on 02/20/2009, -54/+101VIDEO NO LONGER AVAILABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FOX is claimin it as a copyright infringement...i hope they sue HUFFPO!
- grubwort, on 02/20/2009, -6/+48I wonder why it gets so much love from Diggers. It's horribly biased, poorly researched and shoddily written. I seem to spend most of my time on Digg flagging articles from the Huffington Post as blogspam. If I'm not doing that, I'm flagging the Daily Mail ones as inaccurate for more or less the same reason.
Sometimes I wonder why I bother using Digg at all. - Atomic1fire, on 02/20/2009, -14/+52and the dailykos jumped on this too,
not surprising, considering this their low standard of reporting. - spritom, on 02/20/2009, -19/+55HuffPo? Really? I thought they were just as fair and balanced as DailyKos.
- RegalBegal, on 02/20/2009, -24/+56Surprised? Huffington Post is _thee_ dirt rag for the left. I'm not affiliated and certainly not defending Fox News but it begs the question, what journalism source isn't horribly biased?
- inactive, on 02/20/2009, -29/+61For those to lazy to check for the truth.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEVzFDm4hTI - ChronicColonic, on 02/20/2009, -50/+81HuffPo - harder to swallow than Alpo.
Anti-HuffPo = Instant Non-FP on Digg. - inactive, on 02/20/2009, -6/+36"Hey Look Ma!!! I'm a journalist at the White House!!! Big Up!"
- redux2redux, on 02/20/2009, -5/+34they deserve each other....
- bentman78, on 02/20/2009, -21/+48Why does Huff Po hate America?
- raggsat98, on 02/20/2009, -32/+58Too little. Too late.
- shiftymh, on 02/20/2009, -16/+41Something tells me there will be no protests from Al Sharpton and the leftists on this one.
- toekneebullard, on 02/20/2009, -1/+25"the possibility of the clip being authentic was within the realm of possibility"
Not if you actually listen to the clip. It's not even a good audio edit. - apackofmonkeys, on 02/20/2009, -5/+29The fact that they were suckered by Huffpo's lies means we should trust their opinion MORE? Remember this is the Party of Rationality, Science and Logic(R), here.
- hingopemba, on 02/20/2009, -10/+33Why is this story not getting more diggs? This is the first content ever created by Huffington Post and not taken from somewhere else.
- drmangrum, on 02/20/2009, -8/+29Only because there are a plethora of a rabid left-wing nutjobs who think with their emotions and not their minds.
And for those about to digg me down: I'm not a right-wing nutjob. I stay comfortably in the middle where I watch the antics of both sides and laugh at the absurdity of it all. - DrewPeacock, on 02/20/2009, -15/+36Huffpowned.
- inboxnews, on 02/20/2009, -13/+33Related story [HuffPo retraction]: http://digg.com/odd_stuff/Best_news_retraction_eve ...
- twignificant, on 02/20/2009, -3/+23Seriously. It's as if the process is automated. :)
- drmangrum, on 02/20/2009, -5/+25I saw her on Bill Maher's show 6 months or so ago. I wanted to strangle her with her own tongue.
- GreatSunJester, on 02/20/2009, -1/+20I had to search for the exact quote, but this one ranks right down there with.
"The nature of the evidence is irrelevant; it's the seriousness of the charge that matters." - iguana1001, on 02/20/2009, -3/+22Riiight. Whatever you do, don't ask the media to ... GASP... CHECK THEIR SOURCES before reporting on a story!
- Sleekery, on 02/20/2009, -4/+22The only thing more epic fail than HuffPo are the people who actually use HuffPo as a legitimate news source.
- Pstall, on 02/20/2009, -17/+35Because the truth does not work for them.
- newbis, on 02/20/2009, -19/+37So let me get this straight... Fox was doing honest, credible, and entertaining (bright blue scrotum, ha) news, and Huffington decided to mix up a little racism? Not cool, Huffington. Not cool.
- skipdog172, on 02/20/2009, -3/+21wow, what a joke of an apology. rofl
- inactive, on 02/20/2009, -4/+22HuffPoo is not a mainstream media outlet. It is a ***** ***** blog.
- Poochyfud, on 02/20/2009, -4/+22I agree completely. I hate having to see HuffPo's ***** articles when I am browsing Digg's frontpage for cool stuff.
Please add domain filters, Digg! It would be really easy! - mcquitty, on 02/20/2009, -5/+22Surprise surprise. This is the same ilk of "Trig is Palin's grandson".
- ChronicColonic, on 02/20/2009, -1/+18Wow - I am glad I was proven wrong - at least with my second statement.
