"You're fired"*..* From Our Political Coverage

[Stuart G]

Source: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/

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.

1. Maybe HP will get more clicks that way eom

[Stuart G]

2. You are probably correct..

All they are interested in is more clicks

[ToxMarz]

22. WeIs that is their business, and they are pretty successful at it.

[yorgatron]

3. "you're"

[Stuart G]

4. Yes...correction made...

[Android3.14]

5. That one's gonna hurt

[Jack Rabbit]

6. If they're going to cover only the "serious" candidates . . .

. . . why cover any Republican at all?

[MrModerate]

7. Unfortunately, the Republicans *are* serious . . .

As serious as a heart attack.

[n2doc]

8. Trump is just as 'serious' as the rest of the repub candidates

In fact, one could argue that he is the most serious of them, because he says what the others think, openly and without code.

12. great toon and love the hair

Looking forward to more Donald Drump cartoons

[LittleGirl]

24. That's perfect! eom

[Fred Sanders]

9. Well played....kind of like why DU administrators created the Gungeon. For entertainment purposes only.

Isn't anyone else getting tired of finding new and clever ways of saying "this is insane"?

17. +1

10. They've covered Palin ad nauseum for years.

But Trump is too much? Huffington Post is protecting the GOP brand. Thanks for showing your true colors HP!

[SoapBox]

14. My Badge of Honor...I got banned from HP.

I kept asking why it was Palin, 24/7, on their front page...I was told I was "disruptive."

I've never looked at that POS again (and that was in 2008).

[blm]

11. This is to help GOP - Trump openly says what entire GOP voting base thinks and says

when they don't think they are being recorded.

Sorry, but don't trust HuffPo's intentions here. This is a pro-Bush move.

13. Please add direct link rather than just to homepage

15. What bullshit. HP doesnt get to decide who is a candidate.

They should cover him just as they would cover any 3rd party person or any other minor candidate.
All this does is give more fodder to the right to say "See, the media is biased"

[erronis]

16. And the HuffAndPost site is poor entertainment with a peppering of politics to attract eyeballs. nt.

[L0oniX]

18. Repeated star spotlight on Entertainment Tonight.

[ram2008]

19. Incredibly Stupid and unprofessional

Who is HP to decide who and who is not a serious candidate? Newsflash: he's in first place in the polls and has all the money he wants to spend to keep his message out there (no matter how bad it is). This sets a bad precedent for media, and shows how non-credible HP is as a news outlet.

They probably just did it for attention, the worst part is its going to give him more attention and will play into their victim mentality and "left wing media" faux outrage.

[PatrickforO]

20. Yes, we saw this. Pretty funny and very apropos.

[Deadbeat Republicans]

21. AOL not Freeping votes on this one?

[abakan]

23. I had to go see for myself...

I was sure this was a joke, but no it's true and funnier now that I know it's true.
