Funny! | A Note About Our Coverage Of Donald Trump's 'Campaign'

[tecelote]

Huffington Post:

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.

3. I disagree with their decision.

As much as I dislike the buffoon, he has every right to run. HuffPo treating him as entertainment is no different from Fox deciding which 10 will appear on their debate stage and, essentially, who can and cannot have a viable campaign for POTUS. HuffPo has moved to the right since it was sold and I suspect their move is more to help the GOP than any kind of journalistic ethics.

4. Exactly he is number 1 in the GOP polls...frontrunner a sideshow???

5. True, and there are arguably MUCH LESS QUALIFIED candidates they should be ignoring as well then...

Seems like a stupid call, even if they thought it was a funny idea in the breakroom between bagels.

6. Yes. As funny as I thought it was...

it's an indicator of how much power the media think they have.

Of course, Huffpo isn't a news site, it's become an entertainment site. So, maybe it's ok.
