Arianna Huffington's blog, The Huffington Post, is quite obviously a credible Web site. While the nature of any Web blog can be questioned because of the political agenda behind the posters, Huffington's is in unique company.
Huffington works for The New York Times, and because of this, has daily contact with some of the top journalists in the country. This is reflected by the variety of posters on her blog. While other blogs present just her point of view, Huffington includes those of other top journalists and writers. The material The Huffington Post covers is extremely varied. International, national and local New York news are all covered and easily accessible.
One would also be hard pressed to find a spelling error. Another reason this is a highly credible blog is because of the links she presents to visitors. Every major media outlet is linked to in a clear and easy manner. This shows a fearlessness in presenting opinions, as she offers those interested in more information to read the (mostly) unbiased accounts on other sites.
While it could certainly be argued Huffington's posts are inextricably linked to her political agenda, the same could be said about all other bloggers. Her attention to detail and variety of staff make this blog a very credible one.
