Howard Fineman, longtime political analyst for MSNBC and global editorial director for Huffington Post, is heading to NBC News, Business Insider reported.
Fineman will start his new post with NBC on Jan. 8, where he’ll work as a contributing writer covering D.C. and national politics, according to a staff memo obtained by Business Insider.
“I have been in and worked in a lot of newsrooms, and there is NO PLACE where people care about and cheer for each other the way HuffPosters do,” he said in the memo.
The editor and TV pundit has worked at Huffington Post since 2010 and helped grow the site to the major news outlet it is now, according to the memo.

Fineman is just the most recent high profile departure at Huffington Post as the editors make shifts in the website’s editorial style, according to Poynter.
They have editors ?
He will be missed.
(I know nothing about the gentleman. I don’t believe I’ve ever heard of him. But that seems a safe thing to say.

Good for you, Howard. Hope you unseat Chuckie Toad and send him scurrying over to FuxNoose.
FluffPo is just a shadow of its former self. Arianna cashed out bigly by stabbing so many talented bloggers in their backs. I personally left the site behind last year when they repeatedly featured scumbag HA Goodman and his “Vote Stein!” rants and I don’t miss it at all.
I deleted HuffPo from my bookmarks after the 2008 election. They were pretty biased in their reporting in the 2008 Dem primary campaign. I lost respect for Fineman when he took that position. I’m pretty indifferent to the fate of HuffPo, Jon Stewart cracked me up when he nicknamed HuffPo “The Sideboob Gazette”.
