I don’t understand how it wasn’t “true”. It was one weirdo stating his opinion. How can opinion not be “true”? (so-to-speak?)

For some reason, when I see that picture, I imagine the Huffington Post employee parking lot, and see a parking lot covered in broomsticks.

The lie is in the identity of the author.

A probable lie is in the opinion. If it is not his opinion yet he presents it as such...lie.

This wasn’t “fake news,” since it was conjectural. It was a “fake editorial,” which makes the publisher look bad after it’s revealed to be fake. No wonder he’s in trouble—if he’d really meant it, the HuffPo would have stood pat.

He cannot have “Embarrassed HuffPo” since lefties are never embarrassed. The most you can say is he exposed something that everyone else already knew but they want to deny.
I’m sure he can write for HuffPo whenever he wants if he needs a job.

lose his job ? If that means turning in a resignation and it was accepted, then yes, he lost his job.

No, he is NOT a drag queen" and you would have known this,if you had just done a little more research.

OTOH....he IS a libtard MORON, who is a self hating white man, who at 37, is absolutely clueless about the country he was born, raised, and lives in. He claims that RSA id "BETTER" now, than it was in '94, which is not just a lie, but STUPID beyond words!

Their facial expressions are all just a little too perfect.

Seriously, as a straight white male, if I walked into that room and saw those women with those looks at me, I would get out of there so fast and thank my lord and savior if I made it out...

It does not really matter who wrote the article. The thing that matters is that the HuffPo actually posted it as legitimate. They agreed with it.

When I looked at the photo you posted, my first thought was, “angry lesbian militants.”

My second thought was, “lesbians by default.” Straight men would NEVER date a chick that was so fugly from the inside out.”

It looks like a gathering of ‘TOY’ enthusiasts!

Right - and they don’t pay their contributors. It’s one thing if you put a fake identity and fake credentials on a resume, but to submit a fake identity and fake credentials to a site like HuffPo....well, isn’t that like plagiarizing from a comic strip?

Hey baby I can’t knock you up. I had Popeye’s for lunch.
