Huffington Post Ends Editor's Note Calling Trump "Serial Liar, Rampant Xenophobe, Racist, Misogynist" by Tyler Durden Nov 9, 2016 1:25 AM For months, every story on the Huffington Post about Trump came with a disclaimer at the end describing him as a "serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist," among other things. Now, according to Politico, a note sent to HuffPo staff from the organization's Washington Bureau Chief, Ryan Grim, on Tuesday evening said the disclaimer will no longer be used in an effort create a “clean slate”. "Editor’s note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims — 1.6 billion members of an entire religion — from entering the U.S." Of course, Huffington Post spokeswoman Sujata Mitra noted that the plan all along was to remove the "Editor's Note" after the election cycle...of course, because the point was to block a Trump presidency which didn't really work out that well apparently. “The thinking is that (assuming he wins) that he’s now president and we’re going to start with a clean slate,”Grim wrote in the memo, obtained by POLITICO. "If he governs in a racist, misogynistic way, we reserve the right to add it back on. This would be giving respect to the office of the presidency which Trump and his backers never did." "This note was added to stories about presidential candidate Donald Trump during the election cycle,” Huffington Post spokeswoman Sujata Mitra wrote in a statement. "Now that the election is over, we will no longer be adding the note to future stories, as he is no longer a presidential candidate." Seems like Ariana probably should have accepted this board position from PMUSA...turns out her "independence" wasn't all that "useful" to Hillary after all. "She is enthusiastic abt the project but asks if she's more useful to us not being on the Board and, instead, using Huffpo to echo our message without any perceived conflicts. She has a point."
