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?
