Huffpo is most definitely a tightly controlled news site beholden to the Clinton machine. Look up David Seaman, a writer for the Huffington Post who was terminated shortly after posting an article with a video questioning Hillary Clinton's health. Likely that's the same reason Dr. Drew was canned by CNN, for voicing serious concerns about Hillary's serious health issues. Just because Huffpo has a loose network of journalists who work from home, it doesn't mean the company and it's upper-management isn't owned and beholden to the Clinton Media Machine. I constantly hear people keep trying to use this excuse as if it actually means something. It doesn't.




A journalism student who was in my class was one of the published writers on HuffPo. She most certainly was not part of the "Clinton machine," as you say it was.

HuffPo gets almost all their articles from voluntarily submitted articles. They don't pay their writers.

First of all, you're confusing Shawn Lucas for Seth Rich. Which is not surprising since you seem to have a tenuous grasp on all of this in general. And you're likely just quickly checking your propaganda sources to compile quick cannon fodder to defend a position in a debate about something you know very little about.




Do you really think this is the first I've heard about the "Clinton body count?" A lot of my friends post have been posting this sort of stuff for months. They're the types of people that get all their information from Facebook memes, and so many times I have disproved the stuff they are posting as factually inaccurate.

Again, let me repeat myself. I'm not claiming the writers themselves are aware of being part of any Clinton-favoring media conglomerate. A lot of these schmucks are heavily indoctrinated enough on their own and they tend to just naturally sort of hate Trump already (through the media feedback loop already set in place as well as the leftist culture they're a part of). Hence they are perfect for Huffpo and don't need to be censored since they're already playing ball on their own accord. But if a writer shows a strong enough tendency toward going into territories that are off-limits, such as David Seaman questioning Hillary's health and suitability for the POTUS position, they get axed. Just like Dr. Drew got axed by CNN. It's the same masters doing the same censorship across the board.

While HuffPo tends to be liberal left-leaning, they have published conservative authors in the past.

Ron Galloway is one, and he has published a couple articles defending Ann Coulter and Sarah Palin. He's also the same person who published the documentary "Why Walmart Works" and also has some works defending Chick-Fil-A during that whole fiasco.

I hate his writing style though, he sucks as an author

He must not have rocked the boat enough. Do you know if he still writes for them? I doubt it.

His last article he wrote for them was on September 1, 2016. 5 days ago.

Then there's another author on HuffPo who calls himself "The Relentless Conservative."

He's written articles such as "Is our president losing it" and "Obama's economic boat is sinking."

My point though, is why would they publish any of these people's works at all, if they were adamant about having a strictly liberal platform? They could simply refuse to publish any of these author's submitted works if it didn't fit their agenda.

Here's one. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ron-galloway/so-i-wrote-a-column-on-hillarys-health_b_11767880.html?

Looks like damage control. And his stuff reads like total lightweight drivel. Token conservative through and through. Halfway through his article he jokingly claims to "prove" to the reader that you can indeed write a Huffpo piece on Hillary's health and not get censored. He then proceeds to ramble on about how Hillary and him are roughly the same age and how much energy is sapped out of him when he gives speeches. The end. Pretty damning Hillary health stuff there, Ron. :rolleyes:

Here's a link where a Washington Times writer and editor (a news outlet that many people supposedly accuse of having a liberal bias) openly and flagrantly questions Hillary's health, even citing her blood clots and fainting spells: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/sep/5/questions-about-hillary-clintons-health/

If there was supposedly such an agenda to censor anything bad about Hillary's health, why would these articles be published in mainstream media? The author who wrote this is an editor for the Washington Times. Why wasn't he fired?

Quote:

The questions the Hillary campaign are trying to put off limits now are the legitimate questions about Hillary’s health. She has a well-documented record of coughing fits, fainting, stumbling up and down stairs, and uncontrolled giggling and snorting at inappropriate times. There may be good and sufficient reasons for all that, but it’s not against anybody’s rules to ask what they are.

The first serious health episode, detailed in Edward Klein’s book, “Blood Feud,” about the enduring friction between President Obama and the Clintons dating from the 2008 campaign, occurred in Hillary’s office at the State Department. She fainted and was treated at a State Department clinic and sent home to recover. That was not good enough for Bubba, ever the faithful husband, who insisted that she be flown to Manhattan and treated by specialists at New York Presbyterian Hospital.

She is said to have been diagnosed with several problems, including blood clots, one between her brain and her skull. “The unique thing about clotting in the brain is that it could have transformed into a stroke,” a cardiac specialist with no specific information about her case, told the author. Such clots are said to be particularly vulnerable to the pressures of flying.

Hillary suffered a fainting spell during a speech in Buffalo in 2005, another while boarding her plane in Yemen, which caused her to fall and break a bone in her elbow.

But in return the American voter is entitled to a detailed report of a thorough and independent physical examination of both candidates. If such a requirement is good enough for a truck driver, it’s good enough for a candidate for president of the United States. There’s no apology for asking for it.

Are known conservative political commentators such as Newt Gingrich part of the Clinton scheme too?

Cause here he is brushing off the theories Dr. Drew has purported about Hillary Clinton's health:

When it isn't being outright censored, it's being downplayed and carefully damage controlled via controlled opposition tactics. We don't live in North Korea, afterall. They have to at least go through the formality of pretending this is still a free society + press.

It's not being downplayed though. Did you read the Washington Times article? It says the exact same thing conservative news outlets have been saying about her health. It cited her numerous fainting spells, her blood clots, her strokes, her hospitalizations... where's the part where it's being downplayed?

Oh nevermind. It's considered a more conservative newspaper. I was thinking the Washington Post.

Lol. Washington Times is actually similar to LA Times and New York Times. Like most of these news outlets, they are a mix between conservative and liberal, but most conservative people consider them to have a "liberal bias." Why, I have no idea.

Impartial doesn't mean ignoring the truth or never having an opinion in order to appear fair. That's NPR territory. Lionel has plenty of content where he lays into Trump, but I guess the dangers of Hillary Clinton far outweigh and take precedence over talking about Trump's perceived indiscretions.




I'll admit it is certainly possible , but i ask the same question with the candidates swapped above.
It's well within the realm of possibility, but the difference between you and I on this point is I find it
so much less likely than the possibility Trump is a real asshole and would make a dangerously incompetent
POTUS.

So on the topic of our biases: I think I'm biased to the likelihood that things are as they appear and that the
principles of the scientific method and journalism and political ethics are being roughly adhered to and our mechanisms
to eg. prevent a politician from murdering opponents are working. I think you are biased towards a more skeptical
and cynical view.

Trump is nuts. And by that, I don't mean he's criminally insane or anything - though that is, too, a possibility - what I mean is he's nuts in a very literal sense. As in, his body was created in a laboratory from human testicles and a variety of nuts, including cashew, walnuts and peanuts. He's trail mix in a scrotum made into a human. You heard me - Trump was manufactured from spare bits of Hitler's nutsack and discarded plant matter - the leftovers of a nut mix the scientists had consumed for snack - in a secret 3rd Reich laboratory. He was to be Hitler's successor after it became obvious defeat was near. This secret project was carried out in Antarctica and its secondary goal was to engineer the ultimate life form - part animal, part plant. The result was Trump, and although it wasn't a complete success, everyone can see how Trump has rooted himself into the American society and how his business endeavors have borne fruit. But the darker underbelly of drumpf remains - the fact that he is indeed, a nut-man, and will use every opportunity during his presidency to spread the Trump nut far and wide. There'll be little Trumps growing everywhere, and eventually this invasive species of nut-Trumps will replace humans in the United States. You have been warned.

There's a well known liberal media bias and the DNC was caught with it's dick out, ordering various news agencies
to pull some articles and rename others. They're state sponsored propaganda.

You contend that Trump is an Asshole and would make a dangerously incompetent President. And I contend that Hillary is a bitch and it's proven that she is a corrupt Politician, who when proven to be corrupt and forced to admit it, just lies and pretends to be simply incompetent instead.
