:lamo Trolling so hard!

[h=1]A Note About Our Coverage Of Donald Trump's 'Campaign'[/h]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.

More legit than any other I've seen, because they are the only ones correctly identifying Trump's run.

Yes, the PuffHo is trolling.

What was funny is that they already violated this new policy and had to move a posted article.

I don't care for Trump or any of the GOP candidates but if he was filed all the paperwork it is a legit campaign which is going to affect the GOP so it should covered under politics.

Most folks would understand that meant they moved it. What pray-tell did it mean to you?



Here is the original link that was found on their main Politics page. (It has been moved.)

gop-donald-trump_55aacfaee4b0caf721b305a4?utm_hp_ref=politics
Please note the following in the url. "?utm_hp_ref=politics"

So again, it was moved and now goes to the page under their Entertainment section.

I wasn't talking about trump. I was talking about Vermin the Supreme in that post.

So you're point is that they made a mistake but then quickly corrected it? Wow... *win*

The points made were two.
1. Was that the PuffHo is actually trolling.
2. Is that they immediately went against what they said they were going to do and had to correct it.

I don't see how I can possibly do that, since I don't plan on reading HuffPo between now and then.

Funny I thought it just goes to show what a freak show the Grand Old Party has become. Each cycle seems to introduce the American Voter to a new frothy anal secretion- and it is lapped up by the Rabid Right. :peace

I saw it as the HufPo folks covering the more realistic candidates reaction to the bane of their political existence, this year's santorium with millions to spend showing the world what a freak show the GOP has become. I think it will be difficult to completely delete Hair cut boy out of the political column. The stumbling distancing the other Right wingers from this ass hat is as news worthy as amusing, ok well, perhaps it should be on the entertainment page... :lol:

I am sure that you as a Progressive saw that and even agree with it, but the behavior you are agreeing with is childish.

I know what the HuffPo is, not the PuffHo? Is PuffHo like a slutty version of Puff the magic dragon?

:doh
They corrected to trolling. Way to go PuffHo. All liberals can rejoice now.

Yea. They corrected where the article should belong, in the entertainment section.

Have they made a similar decision about Bernie Sanders?

When Huff decides to be a real news/topic website, I guess they will stop proving how laughable the Progressive Machine is. I guess it's just more evidence of the propaganda mill these ProgLib Dog Whistle sites truly are. It should be embarrassing for anyone of conscience to present HuffPo, Media Matters, Kos, Think Prog, Salon, NYT, LAT, and the rest as legitimate sources of nonbiased facts and information.
