In a May 21 MRC Culture & Media Institute post, Paul Wilson asserts that “The Huffington Post has developed an obsession with cheating, and has spurned the very concept of monogamy.”
Wilson’s evidence for this? He cites five posts written over a five-month span.
That’s right — of the hundreds of posts HuffPo posts in a typical month, Wilson has declared that five posts over five months equal an “obsession.”
Nevertheless, Wilson goes on to insists that HuffPo has launched an “assault on monogamy.”
Which makes it even funnier when a May 25 CMI post by Taylor Hughes asserts that HuffPo, which Hughes snarkily dismisses as “The house organ for the Hollywood left,” “finally acknowledged a benefit to monogamy”: that men are more likely to experience heart failure when engaging in extramarital sex, as opposed to having sex with a spouse in a familiar environment.
Hughes references the “slew of articles” purportedly generated by HuffPo “citing the positive effects of cheating,” linking to Wilson’s post that cites only five.
