    It’s not though. Huffington Post has no equivalent of Tucker Carlson or Jeanine Pirro, just asking questions about how Trump has already set up concentration camps for Democrats and has 100,000s of them imprisoned in secret already, or Alina Habba is secretly a man, or anyone who’s a Republican is literal demon spawn who’s drinking the semen of Alex Jones that they get through mail order so they can form a secret demonic pact to resurrect Ronald Reagan. Huffington Post has a left-wing bent and reports bad stories about Trump when they’re newsworthy. That’s it. Fox’s deliberate and explicit total fictions, carefully crafted for maximum emotional impact to produce a particular political result, have no equivalent anywhere in journalism.

      Yeah, i have no particular love for Huffington Post. They’re often overly sensational, and also built their company on the backs of unpaid writers and journalists. But they’re not fabricating stories from whole cloth to whip up a hate mob.
