Despite a bevy of columnists at The Huffington Post that criticize our industry, the site itself takes advertisements from online lenders.   In fact, the Payday Pundit just saw an advertisement from “SpeedyLoans” on the site’s home page.  (It may not be there now as the site rotates ads on and off its home page.)  

Good for The Huffington Post!   Ad revenue is what keeps news sites alive and gives all these columnists an opportunity to voice their opinion.    A politician I used to work for once told me, “capitalism funds freedom.”
