Is it just me or is Huffington Post getting even worse??

reeeee
I mean, for a few years now, they've steadily been moving further and further to the hard-left. From defending a domestic terrorist organization (Antifa; no, seriously, they are legit an actual terrorist organization, as listed by the FBI), to hyperfocusing on the alt-right to the point of obsession and thus giving the racist losers who don't even number in the six digits far more cultural prominence than their opinions' weight deserves, to articles that blatantly display racist and sexist opinions that they NEVER retract, to trying to hire fucking Gazi Kodo, AKA Black Hitler, to write for them, the Huffington Post has become an absolute rag. I don't know why anyone would want to write for them or be associated with them. They're right up there with Fox, Breitbart, CNN, and the fucking Daily Stormer in terms of journalistic and intellectual integrity.
I was going to go into a long rant about HuffPo's garbage-tier journalism and blogs, and I started diving into articles and blog posts to provide examples. Unfortunately, it became a TVTropes affair where I would read one article, and the titles of the next articles on the list at the bottom of the page would lead me to click on them to add them to the list, I'd begin reading them, and...well, long story short, I found myself with more content to bitch about than I actually cared to bitch about.
And anyone who knows me knows I loves me some bitchin'. So that says a lot.
A shame. I used to trust them and felt their journalism was top-notch, but nowadays it's just staffed and blogged on and edited by the most close-minded, arrogantly moralizing self-righteous smug anti-liberal pro-Marxist people in the US. In one paragraph they will bemoan how unfair American society is to minorities and women, right? The very next, they will be advocating for quotas for those people...as if faceless bureaucratic corporations give two shits about someone's race or gender when hiring them, as if they will not be motivated to hire people best suited to the role and thus provide higher productivity and profits. No, no, what we need is quotas, because apparently, in their eyes, minorities and women just aren't capable of cutting it when competing for positions against DA CIZ WYTE MAILS. They need handicaps and artificial incentivization in order to compete, because I guess white guys are just too damn superior?
That's all I can take away from their bullshit opinion pieces and editorials and blog posts: They think women and minorities are just plain inferior and cannot compete against white guys. The fuck else am I supposed to take from that?? They cry about racism and sexism, and then they fucking perpetuate racist and sexist bullshit. And what's more is that they don't even seem to get it! They don't even realize it. They think they're being generous and "progressive" and "forward-thinking" but all they're doing is being condescending towards pretty much damn-near everyone, and this is even more evident by how blatantly they hyperfocus on race and gender when it comes to like 75% of their articles.
Don't be like Huffington Post, kids. Don't assume that just because someone doesn't have your same genitalia or skin tone that they're not capable of competing on your level or even above your level, no matter what the mass media morons tell you. Ever.

There are two exceptions. One is that the long form investigative articles are still really good- it's just too bad that kind of reporting doesn't rake in the revenue. The other is their podcast, 'So That Happened', a weekly political show that gives a more academic perspective on current events. It takes the time to give context to the news, and interviews both smart people who have researched the topic as well as more reasonable voices in the Republican party.
