Shocker: Left-Wing Times Reporter Off to Left-Wing Huffington Post

Peter Goodman should find a good home at HuffPo, given his Marxist-infused reporting for the Times on America's faith in unfettered markets and Hummers as a sign of wasteful decadence."

Courtesy of the New York Observer, we learn that liberal publisher Arianna Huffington has just hired Times economics reporter Peter Goodman [1] as business editor for her left-wing news website The Huffington Post.

Given reporter Goodman's opinionated history of seeing the U.S. economy through a Marxist prism, he should fit right in.

In the last he's let loose in news stories about America's "faith in unfettered markets," Hummers as "a sign of wasteful decadence [2]," and has questioned whether Iraq's oil reserves [3] would be "managed in ways that reward the cronies and allies of the country whose army toppled Mr. Hussein."
