Here’s Erica Jong on Arianna Huffington’s not paying her legions of blogger/writers: “Artists who turncoat and exploit other artists—I have no words.” The interview’s on a new media site, The Slant, “a forum for the subjects of high-profile stories to respond to media coverage on them that they think is biased, one-dimensional or incomplete in some way.” (Lower down, Noah Michelson, who edits HuffPo’s Gay Voices, defends Arianna.)
