Dan Froomkin hired by The Huffington Post

It is not journalism that is dying -- only the staid, establishment-serving, stenography model of the WashPost.

    Not this reader

    I would welcome the movement by the HP towards the more critical Froomkin model and I hope more outlets consider where they are and that they should move in that direction. Unfortunately, as Glenn has noted, the qualifier in all of this is the reader. There seems to be plenty of anecdotal evidence that sites or publications of one particular bent are satisfactory to their audience - feeding them just what they want to hear. I can only hope that there are someday many more that are willing to air voices like Greenwald and Froomkin.
