Trump reality finally breaks HuffPo embargo: Website puts Republican on Politics page

Reality has broken through the Huffington Post’s Trump embargo.

An editorial mandate consigning the Republican presidential candidate to the website’s Entertainment page has been in place since July. Two articles on Trump posted Oct. 24, “A Tales of Two Bullies,” and “U.S. Should Charge to Protect Defense Welfare Clients: Donald Trump Got One Idea Right,” were posted to the website’s Politics page.

“After watching and listening to Donald Trump since he announced his candidacy for president, we have decided we won’t report on Trump’s campaign as part of the Huffington Post’s political coverage. Instead, we will cover his campaign as part of our Entertainment section. Our reason is simple: Trump’s campaign is a sideshow. We won’t take the bait,” Huffington Post editorial director Danny Shea announced on the website July 17.

Media watchdog Newsbusters first reported on the surreptitious change in policy Monday.

“Instead of licking their wounds by publicly eating humble pie and admit they were wrong, the Huffington Post seems to be very quietly placing Trump stories on their Politics page and hoping that nobody notices the change. Well, guess what? Your humble correspondent has noticed,” Newsbusters’ P.J. Gladnick wrote.

HuffPo isn't a news site in the first place, it's more like a lurid checkstand tabloid in a vegan fair exchange third-world-imported-food co-op grocery store.

Yeah, I knew that P.J. Gladnick dude. Very weird guy. Like he is obsessed about food, especially seafood. He can spend hours talking on the subject. Also he works in his underwear. Does some strange impressions of animals like chickens, frogs, and fish. WEIRD DUDE.
