Media columnist rails against HuffPo

Advertising Age's media columnist, Simon Dumenco, takes a shot at the Huffington Post by saying it de-values content and drums up page views by featuring risqué pics of celebs.

What it comes down to is this: What is the Huffington Post, really? It likes to pretend that it's a respectable voice in the mediasphere, but it shamelessly pumps up its traffic by being just as trashy as, say, Maxim. It also likes to masquerade as a forward-thinking, paradigm-shifting journalistic institution, but it pays only a handful of actual journalists, and its idea of "journalism" is often downright parasitic of the work of real journalistic institutions.

Any thoughts?
