HuffPo Brain Drain Continues as ‘Mehdi-Effect’ Hits Traffic
The Huffington Post has lost yet another of their original hires as Dina Rickman jumps ship to go to The Week. She tells Media Guido that she has enjoyed her time there, adding tellingly that her move is to do with “career development”. A wise exit then…
With the near constant exodus of talent, things aren’t looking up for the site. The original HuffPo political team hires of Chris Wimpress and Dina Rickman have both left following Mehdi’s arrival. Noticeably the job advert to replace Rickman says that the UK site was “launched in July 2011 and has already surpassed 2.5m unique visitors per month”. Funny that back in September AOL were boasting that the site had nearly double that at 4.1 million. They call that downturn the Mehdi-effect…
Eh?
Guido comparing Mehdi and the chip on his shoulder with talent is as the BBC comparing Ross with top talent.
I have no idea what that means. Who is Mehdi and why should I care less?
Mehdi is a lefty friend of Gweeeeedo who when losing an argument, which is what always happens, scweams and scweams WACIST!
In answer to your questions …
1. Rancid Smegma
2. No
Has anyone ever read the Huffington Post more than once?
Has anybody ever read the Huffington Post more than once?
Probably the people who work there, but not many other people.
Exactly. Why does anyone care?
Nice picture of Rickman

He is cutting the numbers of readers to far, too fast
A bit like this site will be if they don’t start putting up some stories that are interesting.
Or interesting comments from Mr First past the post FFS
I was only first once. I was shocked. I had always assumed the people who do that work for Guido
Yawn.
Greedo appears to be losing the plot too.
We come here to see scum exposed, not read inane drivel about non-entities that nobody knows or cares about. He’s obviously spreading himself too widely.
It’s all those expense account lunches. I have warned Pickles about the same thing.
And anyone outside of dead-tree reptile land gives HOW much of a shit?
There is a big dollop over there. Yes, there, on Guido’s laptop.
I looked at it once and I’ve never been back to it. It’s a bigger load of twaddle than polly is.
What is this Huffpo thingy?
Most of our UK traffic still goes to the US site. We still maintain diverse editorial divisions in our UK publication, but are wondering why we have morphed into a confused lefty activist platform, particularly after being hijacked by the pro Leveson mob and others… * scamper *
She was cattle, she just grew crops and did not stop and wonder about this world.
Lots of Kuffars here are wondering how and why the fuck I am in charge, but that’s different.
So now you are all hat and no cattle?
I notice Mehdi most of my comments during the Gaza crisis were modded.
Huff Po has become the “Daily sport” for the political left.
Doesn’t the wife of Gordon Brown bat for the Huffy Postie?
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Why doesn’t Mehdi just accuse readers of being racists?
That always seems to work when he’s debating stuff on telly.
Or he could try shouting.
In in doubt, shout.
No one really reads what he writes, but he does pick up a bit of flak on twitter.
The last half dozen posts on this site have been introspective tosh about newspapers. If you are no longer interested in gossip and tittle tattle about Westminster, Guido, why don’t you just call it a day?simply Or if there is nothing jiucy to report on that isn’t subject to a super injunction, just say so and let us readers suggest a few stories for you?
Otherwise, you are beginning to become boring, which will never do.
You are Tom Watson and I claim my £5!

How long before Merkel enters No 10?
2020?
You lied when you said it couldn’t happen?
You lied when you said it was just a trading block?
You lied when you said the Lisbon treaty wasn’t a constitutional change?
You lied when you said the Euro was a Common Euro currency when in fact it is the Deutschmark in disguise?
Can you say that this will never happen?
I did say it would not happen didn’t I? LOL
Just like I said triple lock on gay weddings in CofE churches
It amazes me just how many times I can get away with this. The electorate must be thick as fuck, or merely cattle like my mate Mehdi calls them.
ROTFL
See ya wouldn’t want to be ya
Just a sec there!
Frankly I’d MUCH RATHER have Merkel there than any of the hombred muddling troughers!
“All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing”
Edmund Burke
Yeah but this guy says it better:
Damn Google! – Wrong linky
You don’t even need to be good. You can be a normal sort of middling of the road, usually honest but sometimes willing to fiddle the odd election or persnoal expense and take advantage of other peoples’ mistakes kind of guy doing nothing and evil will triumph if you don’t get up off your ass and do something.
“All that is necessary for the triumph of evil……..”. Take 100 lines and get it right next time.
Six of one, half-dozen of the other– you must be a lot of fun to be married to, Matey. If Jesus Christ married you, I’ll bet that inside of a week He’d be begging to return to His bloody comfortable Cross…
You’re going to f**king regret this come the Jihad
Is HuffPo another of those disgusting games that so enthrall Cameron junior and Osborne minor in the Remedial 5th?
No-one cares. Only Guido and about half a dozen people who have disappeared into the metrosexual media and Westminster village and seem to have lost their way.
Is “metrosexual” the same as “bumbandit”?
Well thats twice you’ve posted that no one cares Tom
Mehdi Hasan always seems like an angry man. He’ll be even more irritated by Guido exposing his failings for all to see!
Is this the foreplay leading up to some hate-sex?
