why did Trump win?

Nov 15, 2016 38 Comments

This:

"Note to our readers: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist, birther and bully who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims -- 1.6 billion members of an entire religion -- from entering the US."

Who are those geniuses at HuffPost who apparently believe journalistic ethics and standards do not apply to them?

  • Trump won because libtards were leading this country down the path of destruction. Heck Hillary the witch should be in jail, not running for president!

    It does not matter what or if I disagree with any of this statement, and that's the point.

      No, it's fact because repeated, recent recorded statements demonstrate his misogynistic and racist rhetoric.

      Many people don't believe climate change is caused by humans, but the scientific community overwhelmingly holds that as fact backed by peer-reviewed evidence. That laymen might look at "facts" and disagree is immaterial. The nature of facts is that they are not subject to willful opinion.

      Some of the HuffPost statement is opinion and some of it is fact. I think it'd be improved by sticking to the defensible facts, so we agree on that principle of not which pieces qualify as fact.

  • It's not just his endless and yes, pathological, lies. It's the whole package. Trump was the most foul human being I've ever seen run for president. Why are you belly aching about one news paper? So what if HP was very clear that it did not support Trump? Many news papers did the same. HP made a commitment early on I remember to put all Trump news stories in the opinion section, because they never considered him a serious candidate and didn't want to legitimize him as one. So maybe that's the reason? HP makes no claim to be a national record. It's not The NY Times.

    Most news networks today are news entertainment and less journalism. I get my news from other sources.

      I guess because I am actually left-leaning and liked HP before this.

      You are right, news networks are more entertainment and less journalism, and that's exactly at the core of my complaint. Isn't it sad?

      PS: where do you get your news? Facebook? Twitter? Even riskier given the 1% fake news.
