After 216 Unpaid Posts, Huffington Post Contributor Files Lawsuit

Author and freelance journalist Jonathan Tasini (pictured) has a way with words. Take, for example, the titles of his four books:

It’s Not Raining, We’re Getting Peed On;
The Audacity of Greed;
The Edifice Complex;
They Get Cake, We Eat Crumbs.


Any one of those could apply to the $105 million class action lawsuit filed today by Tasini against The Huffington Post, AOL, Arianna Huffington, and Jonathan Lerer on behalf of the thousands of unpaid bloggers who helped create some of HuffPo’s vaunted acquisition value.
