Breitbart off Huffpost's front page

Just saw this on another site. Apparently he called Van Jones a commie and a killer and Ariana had enough. He can still post but will not be featured on the front page

1. Does anyone still read HuffPost?

:shrug:

[RebelOne]

4. I haven't in a few years. n/t

[madrchsod]

5. i check the front page and the chicago page

my guilty pleasure is the entertainment section

[Journeyman]

10. For me it's the LA page. . .

A lot of good links to some great restaurant and entertainment ideas.

[elocs]

6. Certainly, because I regularly see HuffPost links here at DU. n/t

13. Save the USA, Recall all Republicans

Seems a lot of commenters are not on HP anymore. I just couldn't take Breitbart and the baggers over there!

9. I don't think AOL

would have paid that pile (350 million?) if nobody read it.

[closeupready]

14. Nope.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

17. Not me anymore, I got BANNED!

...for repeatedly asking the HP, WHY they would have 3/4/5/6 Palin or Palin family articles always on their front page.

Yup! That's my crime!

From the HP:

"Upon review of your account, it was felt that you were not likely to bring your comments inline with our publicly posted guidelines, and your suspension was converted to a ban."

"Your comment history shows a consistent pattern of name calling, insults and pejorative nicknames. *****You seem to have extremely strong feelings about Sarah Palin and other public figures on the right, and are quite vocal in expressing them."*****

"I am willing to entertain your reinstatement, under the condition that you read and agree to abide by our comment guidelines as posted on the site."

"Please let me know if you agree with these terms and I will reinstate your account as quickly as possible."

My stong "feelings" about Palin and family are indeed, strong. She's an idiot. I only commented on the Radicalized Republicans, RushThugs and T.HaterBaggers. Crooks, creeps and other descriptive terms. If the HP feels that the afore mentioned should not be "insulted" and called "pejorative nicknames" (actually, HUH?) then so be it.

The Huffington Post seems to have drifted to the Right side of this country. The crazies supporting the Right are showing up all over the place there but persons such as myself, Dem/Lib/Progressive, get banned.

You know what they say...When you get Good Customer Service, you usually don't tell many. When you get BAD Customer Service, you tell EVERYONE. That's my plan!

HP...kiss my grits.

2. Wow, never saw that one coming

:sarcasm:

[madrchsod]

3. good...maybe she`s wise up about her friend...

[sabrina 1]

7. She didn't know what a racist, liar he was until she put him on

the Front Page?

Someone powerful is behind that lunatic, Breitbart. Anyone who would put him their site at all, except to tear apart his constant lies, doesn't deserve an audience.

8. Arianna, need some help pulling that knife out of your back?

Geebus. Breitbart. Good gawd. :eyes:

[TomClash]

11. Both Breitbart and HuffPo

can byte me.

[SoapBox]

18. Ditto! See my I got Banned post above.

[KeepItReal]

12. Stopped visiting Huff Post.

I've gone cold turkey: Website visits, iPhone and Android apps all gone.

That was one of the most used apps on my iPhone, too.

[closeupready]

15. I would visit daily, multiple times; haven't been back since the Breitbart announcement.

She's a Republican, that much is clear. Anyway, I doubt anything will convince me to go back.

19. "Commie punk” you say? I'd love for him to call him that to the man's face. nt
