    EXCLUSIVE — Huffington Post Writer: Editors Deleted My Article on Hillary’s Imminent Indictment, Disabled Me from Writing​

    "WASHINGTON, D.C. — A writer for The Huffington Post is still waiting for an explanation as to why editors deleted his piece reporting that the FBI will pursue an indictment against Hillary Clinton. Huffington Post freelance contributor Frank Huguenard, a scientist and public speaker, wrote a report for the liberal site Sunday entitled “Hillary Clinton to be Indicted On Federal Racketeering Charges.” But the piece was not up for long before the Huffington Post pulled it down and replaced it with a “404” Error screen.

    “Huffpo has yet to respond to my request for an explanation,” Huguenard tweeted at this Breitbart News reporter Monday morning. “I’ve got my sources, they never asked.”Huguenard later told Breitbart News, “I want to do another story but my HuffPo account has been temporarily disabled. Not sure what’s happening with them.”

    Huffington Post Politics senior editor Sam Stein told Breitbart News that he doesn’t know why the piece was pulled. “Sorry. I don’t know. I’d direct your question to a blog editor,” Stein said. Pressed to provide contact information for the blog editor in question, Stein did not respond further." - Source

    I stopped reading huffpo soon after AOL bought it out. They have become nothing more than just another tool for the the banks and wall street to push their agenda, which works well for Hillary and the for-profit democratic party.

    Why would anyone pay credence to HuffPo? Even 0bama called out old Arianna and her little thing nothing but bloggers blogging.

    It's just further encroachment on freedom of press in the USA. People need to come to terms with the fact that there is censorship going on in a supposedly free country.

    For all the libs on this site this is a better way to do a NEWS story. It clearly contains the name of the source which you can then ask to see if he is telling the truth or not.

    none of this running a story with "a source in the trump campaign" or " a source in the clinton campaign" and then just expecting the reader to accept you at your word 100%

    it would appear the countless claims on this website, that "news" websites are political activists in hiding, may in fact be true...

    and what do you want to do, take away huffingtons freedom to say what they want? forcing them to say what someone else wants

    Greed has totally corrupted the news business paradigm.

    To me, it shows how corrupt the democratic party has become.

    it sure has, this shift from journalists working for a local news company, to "blogger journalists" who are incentivized to write outrageous things in order to increase their click-thru rates since that determines their pay, has lead us to a flurry of sensationalized news and a severe lack of actual journalism in our "news" reporting... no longer are people sitting down for a half hour nightly news that brings a broad range of information, but a hyper-segregated on-demand consumption that depends on flashy headlines, all like-minded people slowly whittling down to a specific news source that feeds the internal rage, which becomes the tool of the political activist controlling it...

    this is why I prefer my 30min with Lester Holt, rather than a constant feed of biased flashy headlines on an iphone news feed from an activist website...

    (but I do enjoy coming here to rip apart the bias and manipulated data, peeling back the eyelids of those entranced by all the glitter their sources project)

    The story is true, he was interviewed a couple of nights ago on some out of this world radio program hosted by George Knapp. :smile:

    I feel like the FBI investigation has been going unusually slowly, for something that seems so clear; maybe they will charge her with more than just the FOIA violations. It's certainly one possible explanation. Even though 71% of Democrats (according to a recent poll someone posted) would still support her, losing 30% of your own vote is crippling.

    Because I think the investigation is turning into something bigger than it was originally intended to be. RICO is serious stuff if this is what happens. Until then we must wait and see.

    Too bad we have to either vote for them or be racists.

    What is considered "newsworthy" is highly subjective.

    That article was unvetted, did not list any credible sources and did not explain how the author supposedly found out the FBI's plans.

    Do people know what an editor does? If the story was false should they have published it?

    Was that a self-reflection? At last some honesty from you. You're to be commended.

    yes, but the news station or site is the one that decides what it uses for it's site

    I definitely would not go there for unbiased reporting, nor FOX or MSNBC for that matter....
