We've known for a long time that the Huffington Post is a stronghold of anti-scientific, anti-medicine woo. They've also recently added Discovery Institute propagandists to their roster. I've given up on them as a lost cause, but Eric Michael Johnson of the Primate Diaries has been trying to swim up the sewer, posting articles on HuffPo that are pro-science and reason. It's been a noble but futile effort.
The latest revelation is that being a columnist on HuffPo does not mean you have any independence to write as you please: they have editors who censor content. Write something critical of HuffPo's lunatic woo side, and swish, that gets conveniently sliced out of your article.
Write 'em off. HuffPo is not on our side.
