Huffington Post Bailout vs Rush Limbaugh's Pay

In an article that tries to make Arianna Huffington look like a successful entrepreneur Times Online announce that Arianna Huffington of the Huffington Post has raised $15 million in a fund raising drive from investors. The money is to be used to expand the Huffington Post.

Arianna Huffington has indeed built up a huge following on the Internet. I basically challenge the successful entrepreneur part, mainly because there is no mention of Arianna Huffington ever turning a profit. Huffington has been compared to Rush Limbaugh in her championing of liberal causes. The difference between the two is that Rush Limbaugh is actually successful in the earnings department.

Rush Limbaugh is living proof that he capitalist system works. If the market likes your product, money will be made. In Arianna's case, donors that want certain liberal causes promoted have invested money to insure the Huffington Post's success. The website has grown and Huffingtons influence has spread.

So what really is the difference? Rush Limbaugh recently signed a contract that pays him $400 million dollars for an eight year period. Why would anyone pay Rush Limbaugh that much money? Simple, he is making money for everyone that he has business dealing with. In comparison Arianna Huffington has a huge following, just not a following that is profitable. Amazing that liberal ideas are so great for fundraising, but not at turning a profit. Conservative ideas on the other hand can be quite profitable.
