Arianna Huffington is no pachyderm, politically speaking, but like the elephant, she apparently never forgets--or forgives. Three years ago, Donald Trump called Huffington "unattractive both inside and out." Arianna has now returned the favor, relegating HuffPo's coverage of Trump to its entertainment section.
On today's Morning Joe, HuffPo's Sam Stein was put in the unenviable position of defending his boss's decision, arguing that Trump is a mere "lounge act" whose position in the polls is simply "sustained by the media." Joe Scarborough blasted the decision as "absolutely absurd," and Mika Brzezinski, in the unkindest-but-truest cut of all, said that many would argue that one Barack Obama was similarly sustained by the media in 2008.

If Trump is being sustained by the media, what was Obama in 2008?
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
More 18-30 year olds read entertainment news than the political section
Go Donald
Arianna is a dopey female. Who cares where she puts her articles on Trump? It’s not as if millions of people are going to read either the political or entertainment section of HUFFBLOW anyway!
Said it when she did it: she actually is doing him a favor!
Great point! HuffPo might be unintentionally helping Trump!
GMTA: I made the same point just after you did!
Mika nust have given Joe an extra dose of vitamins this week.
Or something...
The criminally biased MSM has been operating in this infantile mode for so many decades, that I don’t know how anyone can be either surprised or disgusted by it NOW!
I'd have to disagree. You don't create the world's most powerful blog from a pot of stupid.
I’m OK with HuffPo putting Trump in Entertainment. It’s the dopes who frequent Entertainment. Aren’t you supposed to go where the sinners are to convert them?
“You don’t create the world’s most powerful blog from a pot of stupid”.
Correct and that is exactly what she did. A pot of stupid.
Of course when George Clooney makes a political statement it goes in politics
Trump spoke the truth.
Truth cuts the delusional most unkindly—in direct proportion to the magnitude of the delusion.
Great point, although personally I like to take my political guidance from Barbra Streisand and Cher ;-)
Love how the cluless HufPost guy says that 37% of nightly news coverage was focused on Trump. Right. All to trash him. It didn’t work so we are relegating him to the entertainment section. Lol. Fools.
I fart in the general direction of her “powerful blog.”
>> HuffPo might be unintentionally helping Trump <<
I think, rather, that it’s probably intentional. The more publicity Trump gets in places like HuffPo, the more he hurts the GOP brand among the independent swing voters — exactly those voters who will determine the outcome of the November 2016 race.
