as a progressive-liberal, have been (lightly) following huffpost since its inception. it's a corporate-liberal rag that has no hesitation in selling its soul.
for years huffpo has been a microsoft proxy, for example, reporting as facts any astro-turf anti-google campaigns as if fact, while ignoring ms being caught with hands in the cookie jar. they have always pandered to bill gates as if he were an ethical and wise person.
of course, one of ms lead attorneys was on the huffpost board, so I don't know if this influence was paid for with cash or buddy-buddy.
I emailed huffpo several times on this relationship, never receiving a reply. I posted to corrections to comments, to the best of my recollection several of these comments being deleted.
I think title is conflating "trial lawyers" with "patent attorneys". Trial lawyers have a long history of opposing "Big Pharma", not supporting them./div>

Re: drawing the line (in case you're not trolling)
yes, some women will take advantage of this and will bait you. but the rule still stands: don't hit women or children.
if the ship is sinking, you offer women and children your life-vest. you offer your seat to an old person on the bus.
that's just what you do./div>
