HuffPost Calls Bloggers’ Lawsuit ‘Baseless’
The Huffington Post has responded to news that the site, along with founder Arianna Huffington and Aol, is being sued by a group of bloggers dissatisfied with the website’s policy of not paying its non-staff contributors.
HuffPost representative Mario Ruiz said that, while Huffington has yet to see the lawsuit, such a suit would be “completely baseless:”
Our bloggers utilize our platform to connect and ensure that their ideas and views are seen by as many people as possible. It’s the same reason hundreds of people go on TV shows — to broadcast their views to as wide an audience as possible.
It’s an argument the Huffington Post has consistently used when presented with such complaints. And they do have a success story to back this up: Greg Gutfeld, for one, went from writing a humorous column on the Huffington Post to becoming host of Fox News’ Red Eye.
