Responding to yesterday's
blog post by
Washington City Paper editor Erik Wemple, Arianna Huffington tells the
New York Times' David Carr that someone at HuffPo
did contact
City Paper to ask that the new blog posts on their HuffPo April Fool's parody be taken down, but that they "never complained" about the page linking back to HuffPo. "Bottom line: We didn't -- and don't -- have a problem with someone having fun at our expense," she says. "Indeed, we loved it and complimented it."
