I wasn't; this is my serious face. I have yet to be impressed with the value of any of the content produced by HuffPo. In contrast, I regularly read Washington Post coverage, and the company has historically been involved in some of the major news stories that have shaped our society, such as Woodward and Berstein's Watergate Papers which they produced while working for the Washington Post. To this day, the company covers world events with reporters on the ground, with significant resources for them to leverage, and a relatively high level of journalistic integrity and editorial oversight, all brought to bear in order to bring us newsworthy stories with a solid reputation at stake.
HuffPo might grow into a respectable news organization one day, but they still have a long road to get there.

I mostly agree with your stance, but you've painted their entire body of work with the brush of their low-value, low-effort aggregation.
