Dan Froomkin hired by Huffington Post

Via a Tweet from Oliver Willis:
Huffpo hired Dan Froomkin. Suck it, MSM.
Yup:
Froomkin will oversee a staff of four five reporters and an Assistant Editor, guide The Huffington Post's Washington reporting, and write at least two posts per week to be featured on its main page and Politics page. [...]

Media Matters' Jamison Foser uses pictures to convey "what The Washington Post is up to these days." With leadership like Fred Hiatt and the nepotism-benefiting Graham family, it's really no wonder that -- with a couple of individual exceptions -- it's become such a sad spectacle. Nora Ephron said this morning: "I used to read Dan Froomkin religiously -- I thought he was one of the best things at the Washington Post. I was bewildered when he was fired." At least it freed up money to produce embarrassing vaudeville videos from Dana Milbank and Chris Cillizza. When they're not selling access to lobbyists and printing John Bolton Op-Eds urging some new war on the latest Enemy, that is what "the Post is up to these days."
Suck it, corporate media.
