Huffington Post to cover Trump as an entertainer, not a politician
CNN - Tom Kludt - 7/17/15

Quote:

The Huffington Post will continue to cover Donald Trump, but the popular news site
is done treating him like a legitimate presidential candidate.

In a note to readers on Friday, two top editors for HuffPost said that coverage
of the brash billionaire's campaign will be a part of the site's entertainment section.

"Our reason is simple: Trump's campaign is a sideshow,"
wrote Washington bureau chief Ryan Grim and editorial director Danny Shea.
"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."

In a separate statement, Grim said that the site had
"erroneously been covering [Trump] as an actual presidential candidate."
"Now, the impact he's having on the Republican Party
and the immigration debate is itself a real thing,
and we'll cover that as substance, but anything that tumbles out of his mouth
will land on the Entertainment page," Grim said.

Next in line for media attention is Ben Carson
--- at least until the end of the Iowa Caucuses, then this too shall pass.

Meanwhile the base is apoplectic.. Another Nigerian, oh noes. But Carson is just a tool to trip Trump, cause confusion and consternation, so when the power behind the curtain offers up the chosen, the base will gasp him like he's the messiah.

Are you saying Clinton v Bush?

No, I'm saying we won't know until the chosen is revealed.
