A Note About Our Coverage Of Donald Trump's 'Campaign'
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/a-note-about-our-coverage-of-donald-trumps-campaign_55a8fc9ce4b0896514d0fd66
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.

(113,061 posts)2. Which means they are doing it to protect Jeb. GOP doesn't want their voting base to be exposed
as starkly as it is exposed when they are applauding Trump's bigotry. The GOP is only comfortable with their fascism and bigotry being spoken of behind closed doors.
HuffPo is not doing this for 'journalistic integrity' they are doing it to protect the GOP/Bush brand.
I mean your post, blm, not HP's decision (nothing HP does makes sense to me).
AOL still controls it, if I understand correctly

sounding all high-minded, did it to get more clicks.
