    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.

    ------------------------------

    Honest merchants of debate and politics have always known that the Huffington Post is nothing more than left wing propaganda.

    Now, even the Liberals who are honest (rare breed) have to admit it too.

    I am not a Trump fan, he has said some things that need to be dais, but his history tells me I can't trust him. I could only vote for him in a general election. What the Huffington Post is telling the world is that Liberals have no desire to even consider many valid views on key subjects in our world. This is a stinging failure and exposure of how vacuous the Liberal mindset can be.

    The Huffington Post is no longer a valid news source. It is no different than: MediaMatters, NewsMax, DailyKos, and ThinkProgress.

    Good for HuffPo. I'm not a fan of their usual drivel, but at least they understand that idiot Trump is a joke. He isn't a conservative and is only running to benefit the Democrats. His entire goal is to make the Republicans look as bad as possible.

    Kinda reminds me how the "progressives" in the Soviet Union behaved when confronted with the failures of their ideology and policies. When you can't counter their arguments, silence them.

    In light of the massively inconvenient Steinle murder and how that proved Trump's comments about some illegal immigrants and failed Leftist policies correct, I can see why the hacks masquerading as journalists at HuffBlow would make up some lame excuse for not covering him. We've already seen progs getting nervous about that turning into the next Willy Horton disaster for Democrats.

    It never was and never will be.

    So does the "progressive" joke in the White House, but the hacks at HuffBlow thinks the words of the 2013 Politifact Liar of the Year are worth taking seriously. :lol:

    Yes, it's hard to believe, but there are bigger jokes than Donald Trump out there...

    Oh my! Now I might consider Donald Trump to be a trifle less than serious about running for the presidency but then again, considering how the Left-aligned Mainstream Media hyped Hillary Clinton as Barack Obama's inevitable successor apparent one is also forced to wonder if -- say -- Bernie Sanders might not just be playing to the leftwing peanut gallery in a less than totally serious manner just to elevate his status for the off season.

    But here is what The Huffington Post has to say about Donald Trump and his presidential campaign efforts:


    So . . . what if based on all the criticisms Hillary Clinton has been getting for the 'appearance of corruption' Fox News was to declare her a non-serious candidate (seconded by -- say -- the Wall Street Journal) and relegate her campaign to the comics page?

    So what if ABC were to declare The Huffington Post a non serious media outlet and snub its so-called journalists? Interesting, eh? Where does it end with a media outlet pronouncing a declared candidate a non-serious candidate? Thoughts? Comments? Mocking laughter? You decide, but it definitely looks to me as if The Huffington Post has just pushed itself into the non-serious category with that announcement.

    This 100% takes the Huffington Post out of the role of a News Organization.

    They are nothing more than a propaganda arm of the Democratic Party. They are with the scumbag likes of: MediaMatters, DailyKos, and ThinkProgress.


    What a horrible move and one that exposes who they really are. Liberals want no open debate.

    Note: I will not be voting for Donald Trump in the primaries.

    But Trump is a JOKE! Even if the American people where validated as being what they seem to be...RETARDS, and he won, I'd bet he'd pull a "Palin" and resign. He just wants publicity, he's just screwing around enjoying the attention, he wouldn't want to put in the work of being the president.

    Thanks for your opinion.

    The fact that the man opened up his private books for public scrutiny says that you would be 100% wrong.

    Hilarious! The left wing obsession with Trump is so complete they even cover their own story about how they will cover Trump stories. If hes such a joke why do they spend all day long feeling the need to bash him as opposed to committing journalism?

    It's not even his opinion.

    He's thinking what he's been commanded to think by vindictive liberals who are so butthurt-terrified over the fact that somebody so publically known has the stones to speak the truth about illegal invaders.

    Trump is unafriad of the default liberal tactic, crying racist at the top of their lungs, so these liberals needed a new way to handle him.

    Liberal overlords are in a state of outright panic over what Trump represents.

    All of which have far more professionalism and integrity than The Blaze, Brightfart, NoiseMax, or the Daily Baller.

    None of either are actually news sources. All of them are political public relations operations.

    And Fox is the political game show for the right wing.

    Shtt I HATE dirtbag, criminal illegal immigrants as much as Trump, THEY DO EXIST, and I'd be fine with beating them to a bloody pulp and then dumping them a few feet inside their borders to bleed to death, still doesn't mean Trump isn't a joke.

    When you talk to me, you have no idea who you're dealing with. If you think I'm some bleeding heart progressive in lockstep with MSNBC, you're not even close.

    He has done more than Hillary Clinton on the serious issue related side of campaigning and honest disclosure of assets, yet they are not discounting her?

    The HuffingtonPost is not a News Organization. They are simply another one of the left wing Democratic Party propaganda arms.

    How do you know?

    Maybe is the best you can say...but then again, maybe he really does want to be president.

    have you ever wondered why people want to be congressmen and president? People with that level of education from ivy league schools, eschewing millions in salaries per year in the private sector, instead chasing mere $180,000 per year careers (or $400,000 for pres)?

    It's easy...power. They want the power and prestige.

    Donald has made billions....he's probably bored. He probably really does want to be president because money doesn't excite him anymore...he needs the increase in his addiction. Next step...power.

    Or, maybe he's just stirring the pot to get his face on tv...

    But...one thing for sure...we don't know.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Since when have they ever been a "news organization"?

    Ouch. I digress.

    But, many Liberals get their "news" from this source. Where is that "Agent" poster here that used to spam these boards with all the HuffingtonPost headlines daily?

    This is just further confirmation for honest / open minded people that HuffingtonPost is just propaganda.

    What isn't a joke is what he said about how (*)(*)(*)(*)ed up our immigration is, and how Americans are being screwed over by pandering political pieces of fecal matter.

    Even some of my democrat friends agree with what he said. We are a nation of laws and it is high time we start obeying and enforcing them

    It's too bad that the Huffington Post used such a non-descriptive headline for this event. I believe that was on purpose as an additional attempt to bury it.

    With the rules here, most posters will not even know what this thread is actually about and how a Liberal propaganda arm is attempting to silence alternative opinions.

    Yeah, a couple of days ago I tried clarifying a thread title to make it quite clear what was happening and the Powers that Be hastily saw to it that the title was the article's title. So this stuff is a leap of faith, really, on the part of posters. For instance they have to know that Gatewood is not likely to present an OP in praise of -- say -- Obama or the Dem Party leadership regardless of what I might HAVE to use as a subject heading title. That's just PF's particular quirk. It could be worse, I suppose.

    As to the nature of the O.P itself consider 2008. What if ABC, CBS, and NBC had actually vetted Senator Barack Obama and collectively decided that a first term U.S. senator with ZERO meaningful national level experience who reeked (and he did reek) on stage facing off against the other Dem Party candidates and had a glaring background of being a nation hating radical trying to win the primary and declared that they simply weren't going to waste air time or news print covering the candidacy of such an obviously featherweight type of Not Yet Ready for Prime Time presidential candidate? If they had done that then Senator Obama WOULD have been laughed off the stage. It makes one think.

    My support for Trump is tepid. He has to show me an elaborate political position. There's more than borders for a president to consider. I've signed up for his campaign and asked for campaign material. We'll see what, if anything his campaign has to offer. And if he does have things to offer, I'm in his camp. If not and it is just a joke, then I reserve the right to revoke my support and I'll be on the Rand Paul train as I originally intended.

    The reason why Trump is doing so well in the polls because he doesn't give a dam he is beyond being PC and isn't even polite and he will get down in the mud and degrade you right back of you try to do the same to him and that is refreshing to many voters

    I am still laughing at the latest tweet he made
    "ariannahuff is unattractive both inside and out. I fully understand why her former husband left her for a man- he made a good decision."
    OMG would you ever think someone running for president would tweet such a reply. go Trump your the man lol
