Suing HuffAOL

“Today, a group of bloggers led by union organizer and journalist Jonathan Tasini will file a class-action suit against the Huffington Post, founder Arianna Huffington, and AOL, which acquired the news-and-blogs site in February.”

Tasini, who has been blogging at the Huffington Post since 2005, and his group will be seeking $105 million, “or one-third of the price AOL paid to acquire Huffpo.”

    I hope Huffington and AOL counter sue for hosting fees and reputation gain. Anyone who thought the Huffington Post was a charity organization and not a capitalistic entity is an idiot.
