NEW YORK — Two Democratic political consultants say The Huffington Post’s founders stole their plan for the popular news-and-views website.
Peter Daou and James Boyce say in a lawsuit filed Monday in New York that they came up with the site’s signature blend of blogs by prominent people, news aggregation, original reporting and online community-building.
The Huffington Post and a lawyer for the site didn’t immediately respond to e-mails Wednesday evening. But the founders called the claims “pure fantasy” in a statement to Politico.
