This is why it's sometimes difficult to take Huff Post seriously

Huffington Post has to stop with the BLARING HEADLINES designed to get PEOPLE OUTRAGED over what really is MUNDANE STUFF. Because if they KEEP DOING THAT, eventually it will be like the Boy Who Cried Wolf - you won't be TAKEN SERIOUSLY.

This story involves the CEO of Citi getting a 175 MILLION PERCENT RAISE. Which is awful until you realize he worked for a dollar last year and is now making $1.75 million, which isn't really too bad given CEO salaries lately.

But HuffPost has to SCREAM THE HEADLINES about absolutely everything. And so when they really unearth something, NO ONE WILL PAY ATTENTION.

You're not Fox News. Everything doesn't need to be accompanied by giant fireworks, 140 point font and Carmina Burana.
