A Note About Our Coverage Of Donald Trump’s ‘Campaign’ [From July 17, 2015]
Huffington Post ^ | July 17, 2015 | Ryan Grim; Danny Shea

Posted on 05/22/2016 8:40:31 PM PDT by SamAdams76

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. If you are interested in what The Donald has to say, you’ll find it next to our stories on the Kardashians and The Bachelorette.

Whatever miniscule bit of credibility the notoriously slimy, ever mendacious Huffington Post had is now officially and irrevocably flushed down the public toilet. History now officially records the Huffington Post as something vastly more ridiculous than the notorious propaganda rag that it has been. A name change is in definitely in order: “The Ostrich Post.”

Then they should cover the Clinton campaign in their Police Blotter section.

Before Trump came along, who knew that Huffpo and National Review had so much in common?

How utterly embarrassing for the huff post. It’s like 16-year olds wrote these leftist blogs or younger.

Brilliant!

Perfectly said. Will they indeed cover Hillary’s campaign in the Crime section?

Shrillary’s campaign should be in the Obituaries section

HuffPost moved Donald to entertainment coverage;
Hillary’s campaign should be covered in the Crime section.

And Bill should be covered by the Comics section.

Covering his campaign in entertainment rather than in politics probably exposed more readers to his ideas. His decades of coverage in the entertainment section are probably the reason Trump entered the race with more name recognition than any other candidate, which, in turn, is the biggest factor in letting him deflect the usual pack of lies thrown at conservatives.

HuffPo’s decision to move Trump coverage back into politics probably decreases the number of people who read about him. OTOH, Trump is great with reaching out via Twitter, so he is making up for the loss.

Sam, you’re exactly correct. This is what ideologues do, pigeonhole and dismiss, reduce people to mere ideas. However, we on the conservative side have to be careful not to become ideologues. “Conservatism” (if there is such a thing) is the antithesis of ideological because there are no perfect ideas, no perfect systems and no perfect people because we all fall short of the glory of God.

Huffington compost exhibiting Trump hate? I wonder why? Maybe this has something to do with it - http://insider.foxnews.com/2016/05/21/huffington-post-editor-posts-diverse-meeting-photo-twitter-sparking-social-media

You’re more correct than you know. It’s written by a bunch of social justice warrior sisters that look like they graduated from Wesley last year! Man bad, woman good is ingrained in their little brainwashed heads. — see it here:

It’s one big safe space for the female elite!

“Michelle Fields is now an entertainment reporter.”

Excellent analogy. I think she is over her head as the entertainment reporter.
