Here's hoping to the traditional media outlets that were ousted learn that fealty to trump gets you kicked out. Time to start using that power of the press for its intended purpose as the Fourth Estate.
- But they lost the manual on how to do thaaaaaat!
  oh! Oh dear!
- If they learn that, they will then learn that not having fealty to Trump will soon lead to journalists getting arrested.
  There is no such thing as a free press in a fascist dictatorship.
  Not that I'm saying they shouldn't try anyway.
- At this pace I will get my news from The Soup.
Wait... One of these things is not like the others.
- Huffpo is owned by a right winger now.
  
  Ahhh, the world once again makes sense. Though while I'm not sure I've seen much from HuffPo in a while, I thought it was still filling the role of liberal normie news/blogging/discussion site. Seems like kind of a hard ship to turn right without just destroying it.
  
  Buzzfeed is right wing?
NYT and the broken post have practically been sucking him off. Kind of surprised he kicked them, maybe they can go back to doing news instead of fluff pieces on how ok his moves are.
- Unlikely. :(
- Or they'll shill harder in the hopes of being allowed back in
What, no Newsmax?!
- They settled with Smartmatic, they are insufficiently subservient.
Huffpost? One of these things is not like the other. Am I missing something

HuffPost? Because some of their columnists overreact so much they make everyone who opposes Trump look ridiculous? If that’s the main reason, it would be the first intelligent thing this administration has done. Even I don’t consider HuffPost to be an entirely credible news source.
- Giving them an office in the Pentagon is an intelligent thing?
  I think you need to re read the headline before spouting off your prepared talking points.
  
  No, it’s not a talking point. I just don’t like them.
  Even when the opposing point of view is shallow, bullheaded, and wrong, it needs to be explained. You can’t successfully argue against a conservative point of view unless you know what it is, and what sort of counterattacks to expect. HuffPost often doesn’t do that. They raise awareness, which is good, but their thoroughness is often limited.
  And yes, I did read the headline, but I’ll explain myself more clearly for you: when HuffPost is the only liberal news organization with an office in the Pentagon, they’re more likely to be quoted. When the news organization being quoted is a mediocre one, it makes us all look bad. See?
