As Donald Trump continues to rise in Republican presidential primary polls, The Huffington Post announced today that it will suddenly cease coverage of Trump’s campaign as part of its politics coverage.
The news comes as a new slew of national polls places Trump at the top of the Republican field, threatening traditional Democratic and Republican interests who hope to keep issues like immigration off the national radar screen.
The Huffington Post writes, “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.”
Trump quickly fired back in a statement calling The Huffington Post a “clown show”.
Mr. Trump has never been a fan of Arianna Huffington or the money-losing Huffington Post. The only clown show in this scenario is the Huffington Post pretending to be a legitimate news source. Mr. Trump is not focused on being covered by a glorified blog. He is focused on Making America Great Again.

Hahaha... The Donald wrangled that heffer and threw it down like a calf.
HuffPo is nothing. Absolutely nothing when it comes to real world issues. For them to lash out like this just lowered their already 3rd rate tabloid status down to 5th rate.
I’d be surprised if they can manage to keep 10 people on the payroll by this time next year.
Talk about self destruction! Wow! Just Wow!
How Stalinist of HuffPo.
Just like ostriches - when they put their head in the sand they forget their butts are still sticking up.
“Clown show” That’s great. Go Trump!
But...but...but...many claim he is a democrat. So then why is Huff Po not happy about Trump doing well?
We are still (nominally) a FREE COUNTRY, with our First Amendment, so HP is welcome to do just what they’re doing.
And while they are, no-doubt, yucking it up with high-fives in their propaganda, I means news, room, what they may want to think of their bigger cause, for now they have given our side MORE CREDIBILITY than we could ever earn ourselves when we state the media is biased. Without a doubt, the SMART DEMOCRATS at the top (and don’t fool yourselves, there are PLENTY of very smart Democrats) will have a “talk” with them, and they will reverse their little childish stunt...and soon.
By the way, what page is B. Sanders on?
Liberals love Censorship.
“What got their panties in a bunch?”
He’s holding the Democrats (along with Republicans) accountable on Open Borders, and a number of other issues.
That WAS NOT supposed to happen - or if it did happen, the media figured that they had the resources to drive out any Republican that dared to go there.
The media DEFINITELY does not have the capability to drive out Trump. Nor has the Republican Party been able to infiltrate his campaign and control his message with their ‘advisers’ (most of them gay, by the way). So Trump is a HUGE PROBLEM for all involved (except Americans) because he might just cause this election to be about what all of the elites claim the public so badly wants, which is a campaign about “issues”...he must be stopped, but they have yet to figure out a way to do so.
Trump is the uniparty. His personal political record, personal life and business background all prove it.
Trump doesn’t have to worry, not many conservatives even read what the “HuffPro” covers.
So given that HuffPo is just another arm of the DNC who are they trying to keep Trump’s views away from?
Thanks GOPJ. Gosh, this means the readers of HuffPo *might not* vote for any Republican candidate. /s
jeb! is the uniparty. His personal political record, personal life and business background all prove it. I'm not voting for jeb! the fag, so just give it up already.
The speakers at the Pubbie national convention have to hammer away on every last iniquity of the iniquitous Demagogic Party and its candidates. They'll never have as large an unfiltered audience as they do those relatively few hours.
It's called the 'stick your head in the sand' strategy... Very effective - right up there with covering your ears and screaming, 'na na, na-na na...
Well then, there’s two of them running at least.
Exactly what I was thinking! The low-info dolts focus on entertainment, certainly not politics, and HuffPo will expose them to politics in a subtle way.
