Arianna v. Tasini Now a Blog Fight

Huffington says Tasani gushed about site in email before going to court

A sarcastic and dismissive Arianna Huffington has taken to openly mocking a lawsuit filed by labor activist Jonathan Tasini, calling it "utterly without merit" and marked by "utter cynicism" while also revealing that she has compiled a group of emails from Tasini which effusively praise The Huffington Post's publishing model.

On Tuesday Tasini, who has twice run for the U.S. Senate, filed a class action lawsuit against the Huffington Post seeking $105 million. Tasini, who had previously blogged for the site, compares Huffington to a slave master.
