- Why is it not the point? HuffPo serves SEO first, and consumers second.
Maybe it is not the point in the sense that news outfits have not served consumers for some time now, be they digital or print. Isn't this just the logical continuance of 'for-profit' news? How may papers were closed by conglomerates to serve the shareholders and the bottom line? How many once solid papers tilted to embrace sensationalism headlines...sex, violence...it sells. The Fourth Estate has been dumbing down for a while to sell more papers, -they've gotten in bed with governments they were supposed to be watching in order to keep getting fed more 'scoops' to sell more papers, they've killed stories to keep their corporate advertisers happy. This process is continually being further refined. It's an art and a science and they are getting better at it.
