Now is the time at Ed Driscoll.com when we juxtapose:
“How Arianna Huffington became Miss America,” published in Canada’s Globe and Mail in November:
Ms. Huffington’s 13th book is a cri de coeur bemoaning the evisceration of the U.S. middle class and America’s slide toward Third World status. As she describes it to me, “that’s really a country where there are the super-rich, who live behind gates with guards protecting their kids from kidnapping, and the rest of us.”
The rest of us?
The Drudge Report on Tuesday:
Hard work and endless media lifting has finally paid off for Arianna Huffington — after she personally scores nearly $20 million in a sale to AMERICA ONLINE!
Top sources close to the deal reveal Huffington will bank $18 million, after all is said and done, in addition to a lucrative new salary base of $4 million a year.
“She is ecstatic,” explains a close friend. “It’s been a life of hard work.”
Press reports on Monday detailed the money side of HUFFINGTON POST, from its first round of fundraising with a Japanese investors to the ex-AOL executives who now return their investment back to the AOL mothership.
As Drudge adds, “Developing,” but not necessarily in the direction that Arianna, AOL and stockholders intended.
