    How a news source brands itself is important and the HP doesn't overtly call itself liberal when it really should.
    The Huffington Post isn't so much ideological as it is just vapid and opportunistic. Arianna Huffington herself used to be a conservative until she saw that the overall national mood was tilting more liberal, especially on social issues, and oriented her website to match. At most the site is a place where well to do white liberals can go to assuage their guilt, it certainly isn't a place that's fomenting radical revolution or anything like that.

    And to make a more general point, the reason there aren't liberal equivalents of Breitbart and WND and all the other garbage right wing sites is that liberals simply don't care as much. Your average left leaning American probably supports a broad range of progressive ideas in general, but outside of reading a couple news sites it's not something he thinks about all that much. Compare that to the attitude of some right wingers who practically see "conservative cultural warrior" as a full time job and are fully immersed within that bubble of nationalistic, conspiratorial propaganda. It really isn't that strange when you think about it, even amongst the most liberal segments of American society, the most powerful and influential figures still tend to be white men, and as much as they want to talk about fairness and justice it's not like they're prepared to sacrifice their own position to accomplish that.

    This Article had me in tears.. I wouldn't read Huffington post but I just saw this and just wow. Make sure you use caps lock and swear a ton so everyone knows how cereal you are right?



    The picture is especially funny too. Like this is what will happen if Donald Trump gets in. Meanwhile if a nuclear apocalypse happens then it will have been a long time coming and it won't matter who got in. I can't believe this guy got paid to write this.
    WOW! So much for the illusion of serious journalism. That can be completely thrown out the window.

    How does this guy have a job after that headline? lol

    I think a massive distinction between so-called "liberal" news sites/newspapers and conservative ones is that the "liberal" ones usually call themselves liberal because they have a liberal editorial and opinion pieces/bloggers by liberal individual. But when it comes to actual news articles they are generally only interested in reporting the facts. Conservative "new sites", or even worse: Breitbart.com, on the other hand generally are only interested framing everything in a way that advances their twisted worldview, by distorting the facts or publishing pure fiction and conspiracy theories.

    The illusion is created by you not reading the orogin of that blog. The writer is not a journalist, this is not a news story... Although, your reply does peer into one of the reasons journalism is on the decline. When you treat a blog post from a guy whose credentials are 'writer, musician' as a journalist, the word no longer has meaning...

    You are probably right, i mean, for as racist as this country wants to pretend it is, no ones popped a shot at Barracko. You'd have thought all the rednecks would have come out the woodwork and brag bout they huntin' skillz.

    The irony of that statement, is that at the time of his presidancy, her pulling his strings or being the brains behind the saxophone, was a shot against Bill. Much like Bush and Chainy, she was Bill's Dick. See Hillarycare for more info... GOP doesn't want you to remember that, because this is what they said after Clinton's reign:

    GOP Platform from 2000:

    We meet at a remarkable time in the life of our country. Our powerful economy gives America a unique chance to confront persistent challenges. Our country, after an era of drift, must now set itself to important tasks and higher goals. The Republican Party has the vision and leadership to address these issues.

    Our platform is uplifting and visionary. It reflects the views of countless Americans all across this country who believe in prosperity with a purpose — who believe in Renewing America's Purpose. Together.
    http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/?pid=25849

    Yep, what might as well be a progressive slogan of "prosperity with a purpose" was the GOP platform in 2000. The next election it was replaced with war rhetoric. Then the next was once again war rhetoric, until McCain needed to refocus on the economy. GOP fears Clintons, for the same reason you are chastised for bringing up Bush. There is a reason that there has only been 1 popular vote won by the GOP sense the 80s ended. If Hillary is like Bill, then you'll have a balanced budget, booming economy and no prolific war, without her fucking interns. If Trump is like Bush, we have 2 indefine wars and 2 economic collapses. Shhh... No Bush... No Bill (unless it's about his Dick).

    Do you think Trump will pardon him self in the several ongoing lawsuits or let them play out during his term?

    He'd certainly pardon himself. Will Hillary order her own assassination, when she unleashed unholy hell on corruption, realizing she's badmouthing herself in the process?

    Left stupidity is all over Huffington Post, and right stupidity is all over Fox News and Breitbart. They have good articles from time to time, but not often enough to warrant visiting them. You are more likely to lose brain cells reading the drivel on any of those sites than gain much of value. Any useful information will show up on much better sites.
    Huffington Post and Fox News aren't even close, and it's actually pretty disgusting that you compare the two. Top articles on Fox right now is the violence in Charlotte (which makes sense), top article on HP (as of right now) is "She's Progressive!" with a big picture of Hillary. If you go to the opinion section of Fox, this article, a former Clinton adviser talking about how unfair Hillary is treated in the media, is the 3rd one down. Good luck finding pieces like that about Trump on HP. Fox actually tries to be balanced whereas HP doesn't give a fuck.

    Sorry, when I see something from a news site, I automatically assume it is from a journalist.

    Opinion pieces (blogs) should have no place in the news.

    That's quite the article. What a way to sell your side to someone... and simultaneously demonstrate your immaturity.

    It's like being asked if you want to shoot yourself in the foot or the hand. The only pro of shooting yourself in the foot is you still have your hand. The con list is very long.

    I feel bad for my American friends. They all hate the situation they're in.

    Also, The Huffington Post is just a buzzfeed attempt at making a news source. It's awful.

    2) Unrack
    3) Crank out 15 reps
    4) Be ashamed of constantly skipping leg day
