HuffPo Names Dominique Strauss-Khan's Wife Editor of Le Huffington Post

The Huffington Post has hired Anne Sinclair, the wife of Dominique Strauss-Khan, to be the editor of Le Huffington Post, the French version of HuffPo. The New York Times reports that while this has not been made official, an invitation to a party unveiling the new site listed Sinclair as the “editorial director.”

Sinclair actually has some journalism experience; she was a host of a popular television interview show during the 1980s. But that hasn’t stopped the French media from lashing out against the hiring:

‘Anne Sinclair is no longer a journalist,’ an editor at the paper was quoted as saying by the magazine L’Express.
