My two cents: There few, if any, news sources that do not show bias in their reporting. Everything you read has a bias. You can report pure fact in a way that is biased, in an effort to express opinion.

Example: When I worked for a small newspaper covering local government meetings, we reported the county tax hike as 33% in the headline and in several places throughout the article, rather than as raw numbers. 33% grabs people's attention. It makes them take notice, and hopefully action. We wanted that, because my boss was very much against the tax hike.

That being said, my personal opinion of the Huffington Post is that they are so biased their work is often more akin to fiction than news. Considering I rarely read EW, and usually only for Teen Wolf, I cannot form an opinion.

However, in this particular situation, unless EW and Huffington Post reported different things, there was no reason to take the second source to publish the news. I've not looked at either article, yet, so I can't say that this is or is not the case.
