The Huffington Post is an American news website, content-aggregator and blog founded by Arianna Huffington, Kenneth Lerer, and Jonah Peretti, featuring columnists and various news sources. The site offers news, blogs, and original content, and covers politics, business, entertainment, technology, popular media, life & style, culture, comedy, healthy living, women's interest, and local news. The Huffington Post was launched on May 9, 2005, as a liberal/left commentary outlet and alternative to news aggregators such as the Drudge Report. On February 7, 2011, AOL acquired the mass market Huffington Post for US$315 million, making Arianna Huffington editor-in-chief of The Huffington Post Media Group.
