Part of our report, “The Huffington Post: Ground Zero of the Alt-Left’s Hate Speech, Incitement, Racism and Anti-Semitism”
Since it debuted in 2005, HuffPost’s senior management has repeatedly told the public — and presumably, prospective advertisers — that it is a completely nonpartisan, professional news organization, and that it employs “rigorous editorial policies and standards… to ensure that we maintain the highest level of journalistic integrity.”
The documentation presented on this page, however, demonstrate the fact that HuffPost is the exact opposite of what it claims to be.
And while mainstream advertisers have been severing relationships with other websites because of hate speech and incitement, the incidents cited in those reports — while serious and offensive — are child’s play compared to what HuffPost has been perpetrating, for many years.
CAUTION: EXPLICIT CONTENT: This page contains explicit pornography, and myriad forms of female degradation. Reader discretion is advised.

“HuffPost prohibits materials that are pornographic, obscene… hateful… or are otherwise inappropriate…”
– HuffPost Terms and Conditions
HuffPost does not publicly promote itself as a “family-friendly” site. It apparently does a good enough job behind-the-scenes, however, to convince America’s top family-friendly corporations to purchase top-level advertising, and even to “partner” with it for advertorial content. Examples include Johnson & Johnson, AT&T, Allstate, Ford, Proctor & Gamble, State Farm, Walmart, Volvo and many others (partial list here).
Do the CEOs of these corporations really know that its advertising dollars are being used to facilitate all of the following? They do now:
(a) Homophobic, gay-defaming headlines: “A few words from a real, live cocksucking fag”; “(Gay activist) to Ben Carson: Suck my dick”; George Michael Was A ‘Filthy’ Gay ‘Fucker’ And We Should Honor Him For That
(b) Explicit, X-rated pornography, that anyone — including children — can access without restrictions of any kind
(c) HuffPost’s obsession with putting vaginas on its front page: A sampling: “My vagina is noisy”; “This artist paints with her pubic hairs, and the scent of vagina”
(d) Explicit, gratuitous pictures of nude women in submission and bondage
(e) Explicit advocacy and glamorization of cheating on one’s spouse
(f) Other examples of HuffPost’s dehumanizing treatment of women with whom it disagrees
(g) For two straight days, HuffPost presented what appeared to be a “news” story on its front page that profiled a “swinger’s resort,” which was actually a paid feature by the firm behind the resort
(a) Homophobic, gay-defaming headlines
(1) “A few words from a real, live cocksucking fag”
An excerpt from this “story” — which HuffPost presumably intended to advance tolerance, but instead ensured will help result in the exact opposite:
It’s true: I am a cocksucking fag. In case you’re unfamiliar with the phrase, it means I’m a man who finds pleasure in orally stimulating other men’s penises. […]
If you are a straight person, you do not get to use the word “fag.” Ever. You just don’t.
(2) “(Gay activist) to Ben Carson: Suck my dick”
Who is Dan Savage, you might ask – and why would HuffPost publish such a vulgar “news” story about him, near the top of its front page? He is a gay activist who publicly admitted that he used infected biological material to try to cause a presidential candidate and his staff to become ill. Specifically, while Savage claimed he was “in the grip of the worst flu I had ever had,” he lied to get into Gary Bauer’s presidential campaign offices, where he:
“…started licking doorknobs. The front door, office doors, even a bathroom door. When that was done, I started in on the staplers, phones and computer keyboards. Then I stood in the kitchen and licked the rims of all the clean coffee cups drying in the rack. […] I even hatched a plan to infect the candidate himself.”
Update, November 1, 2017: A college student in Hartford, CT was charged with criminal offenses for perpetrating similar acts.
This was neither the first nor last time that HuffPost gave top, fawning coverage to “activist” Dan Savage. To the contrary, it was just a preview of things to come.
For example, beginning on June 1, 2017, HuffPost gave 26 days in a row of front-page coverage* to a “news” story that it first published about Savage on April 24, 2017, entitled:
The “news” story:
“Dan Savage Raises $100,000 With ‘Impeach The Mother Fucker Already’ Swag,” by Curtis M. Wong, Huffington Post, April 24, 2017. Excerpt:
Dan Savage is using his disdain for President Donald Trump for great causes.
The LGBTQ rights activist and author announced April 18 that he’d raised $100,000 for three organizations that are in direct opposition to Trump policies through the sale of ITMFA, or “Impeach The Mother F*cker Already,” merchandise. […]
[W]hen people are going to ask you what ITMFA stands for and YOU GET TO TELL THEM it stands for ‘Impeach The Mother Fucker Already!”
Go to this page for the proof that:
- HuffPost published this “news” story on its front page every day from June 1-26, 2017
- HuffPost consistently, completely ignores fundraisers for American soldiers and others who are beaten by members of the favored groups whom HuffPost regularly incites to violence
(3) George Michael Was A ‘Filthy’ Gay ‘F***er’ And We Should Honor Him For That
And then there’s this Tweet by the “journalist” who wrote this “story,” which he included in it:
(b) Explicit, X-rated pornography, that anyone — including children — can access without restrictions of any kind
HuffPost published the above “news” story near the top of its front page — and left it there for three straight days (1, 2, 3; see date-stamps in lower-right corner). The page to which it leads contains explicit, X-rated images, including these:
HuffPost published the above “news” story at the very top of its front page – without an “NSFW” advisory. The page to which it leads contains explicit, graphic images, including these:
HuffPost published the above “news” story near the top of its front page. The page to which it leads contains explicit, graphic images, including the uncensored version of this:
Yes, really. According to HuffPost “journalists,” gay orthodox priests exist, and they made an X-rated calendar.
(c) HuffPost’s obsession with putting vaginas on its front page
A search of the term “vagina NSFW” (“not suitable for work”; no word about children) at HuffPost reveals dozens of “news” stories, most of which are original articles. Curiously, while HuffPost devotes such original “journalism” resources to these stories, it chose to not assign a single one to tell the story of (a) Capt. Taylor Force, the beloved American Army officer, who was murdered by a Palestinian terrorist, in March 2016, or (b) any of the other five Americans who were murdered by Palestinian terrorists in the fall of 2015.
HuffPost featured this “news” story near the top of its front page. The page to which it led (archived here) contains the non-censored version of this freakish “artist”:
Oh, you never heard of a “vaginal knitting” performance artist? You would have, if you were a reader of HuffPost’s front page. There, you would have also learned about the “artist” who paints with her pubic hairs — and the “scent of vagina”:
And when HuffPost temporarily ran out of actual vaginas to feature, exploit, gossip about, and probe with all of its “journalistic” assets…
… it assigned one of its “journalists,” Alanna Vagianos, to construct and Tweet out an original “news” story about everyday objects that seem to look like vaginas, then claim they are “everywhere” — such as in the case of this “grandma pussy”:
(d) Explicit, gratuitous pictures of nude women in submission and bondage
HuffPost published this explicit “news” storynear the top of its front page – and left it there for three straight days (1, 2, 3; see date-stamps in lower-right corner). The page to which it leads contains misogynistic, female-humiliating imagery, such as this, of a nude woman, with a chained collar, held on her knees by her “master.”
This bondage-themed “news” story appeared on HuffPost’s front page on April 17, 2016.
(1e) Explicit advocacy and glamorization of cheating on one’s spouse
(1f) Other examples of HuffPost’s dehumanizing treatment of women with whom it disagrees
(1) “Cindy McCain is a dick”
This is an excerpt from:
HuffPost’s dehumanizing treatment of, and bias against conservative women (7 case studies)
On August 10, 2008, HuffPost published this as a “news” story on its front page (now removed):
Cindy McCain Is A Dick, Huffington Post, August 10, 2008. Excerpt:
Cindy Lou Hensley McCain (born Cindy Lou Hensley on May 20, 1954) is the wife of U.S. Senator, ill-fated presidential candidate, elderly curmudgeon, and dick John McCain. She, herself, is a multi-millionaire, pill-popper—a combination sometimes referred to as a “pillionaire”—and an excellent example of why people should stop after one facelift, two max. She is also a dick.
As a potential though seriously long shot First Lady, anything and everything about Cindy McCain was seized upon and exaggerated by the media. Like her hideously plastic appearance. And the period of her life she spent zonked out on Percocet. And that she obviously has a fetish for old balls.
McCain is chair of Hensley & Co., one of the largest Anheuser-Busch beer distributors in the nation. Essentially, this makes her a legalized drug kingpin. Of course, better that than ketchup czar, but still.
Cindy McCain wishes she were Michelle Obama so bad, it gives her sweater bullets just thinking about it.
Although HuffPost removed this item, it is still retrievable through the Internet Archive, here (see bottom of page for attribution to HuffPost) — and, momentarily, on HuffPost itself, here. It was part of HuffPost’s “Dickipedia” sub-site, dedicated to mocking, smearing and humiliating anyone with whom this “news” organization disagreed. And as shown on Page 2 here (screencap), shortly before the 2008, election, HuffPost turned its venom onto Mrs. McCain, in calling her “a dick.”
Which contrasts with Arianna Huffington’s proclamation that her “newspaper” neither engages in, nor tolerates any such behavior:
“If you’re looking for the usual flame-throwing, name-calling, and simplistic attack dog rhetoric, don’t bother coming to the Huffington Post.”
– Arianna Huffington interview with Newsweek, May 6, 2005
“HuffPost prohibits content that is… hateful… or is otherwise inappropriate.”
– HuffPost Terms and Conditions
(1g) For two straight days, HuffPost presented what appeared to be a “news” story on its front page that profiled a “swinger’s resort,” which was actually a paid feature by the firm behind the resort
On June 21, 2014, HuffPost featured this apparent “news” item at the top of its front page, where it remained for two straight days:
Clicking on that headline brought the reader to this page — which is in effect an advertising pitch, on which one can book reservations at this “swinger’s resort”:
Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Swingers Resorts, by Sophie-Claire Hoeller, Huffington Post, June 18, 2014. Excerpt:
Admittedly, we’ve taken you on some pretty weird nakations in the past, from nude beaches and nude resorts, to the world’s kinkiest festivals, naughty ski trips, and erotic vacations, but even we had to stop for a second upon discovering swingers resorts. Call us sheltered. Call us naive. We assumed they existed, of course, but we just didn’t know much about them. Until now, that is. And everything we’ve learned, we’re sharing with you.
As it turned out, however, this entire “news” feature was a paid promotion for these “swingers'” resorts — which is very convenient, after HuffPost has convinced otherwise faithful spouses and partners to explore the benefits of cheating:
(2) Inciting and justifying violence and domestic terrorism
HuffPost prohibits “material that is unlawful, or encourages conduct that would be considered a criminal offense… violate any law, or is otherwise inappropriate”
– HuffPost Terms and Conditions
The following is just a sampling of HuffPost’s use of its platform as the world’s most-read online “newspaper” to explicitly incite and justify political violence, against the people and organizations whom it incessantly vilifies. [And, as documented here, HuffPost applies an egregious, often racist bias to determine which victims of the violence it helps to incite, that it will publicize — and which it will completely ignore.]
(a) “Violence is “logical”; “Violent resistance matters. Riots can lead to major change”
(b) “I will do my best to fuck up any bigot who fucks with you”
(c) HuffPost’s propaganda and incitement against police officers:
(1) “Can the cops be stopped before they kill again?”
(2) “How (cops) get away with murder”
(3) “They’re murdering our kids and are getting away with it”
(4) HuffPost applauded as “perfect” an activist’s claim that a tiny minority of bad cops justifies “replacing the system” — yet dismissed proof that a sizable minority of Syrian refugees are radical Islamists, or support ISIS, as an “unfounded fear”
(d) “The 9 Most Punchable Martin Shkreli Faces (Just From Today)”
(a) Violence is “logical”; “Violent resistance matters. Riots can lead to major change”
HuffPost published this explicit call for political violence and domestic terrorism on its front page on June 6, 2016. Excerpt:
Violent resistance matters. Riots can lead to major change. It’s not liberal politicians or masses that historians identify as the spark underlying the modern movement for LGBTQ equality. Nor was it a think piece from some smarmy liberal writer.
(b) HuffPost: “I will do my best to fuck up any bigot who fucks with you”
HuffPost published this “news” story on its front page on November 16, 2016. Excerpt:
Writer and editor Margaret Killjoy is selling 1″ buttons that “help you make clear your intention to, you know, fuck up bigots.” They look like this. […]
“A friend of mine posted [online], ‘I don’t care if you wear a safety pin or not. I just want you to fuck up bigots.’ I wholeheartedly agreed,” Killjoy told The Huffington Post.
(c) HuffPost’s propaganda and incitement against police officers
Since HuffPost began publishing these incitement-based “news” stories on its front page, several dozen American police officers have been murdered, often exclusively because they were white. Lie-filled eadlines such as these can only serve to turn up the heat of hatred, and all that emerges from it.
Which may help explain why HuffPost also completely ignored a Pew Research study of 8,000 police officers from across America, released in January 2017, that indicates the extreme fear they now feel about going out on patrols.
Police Reveal Fears In National Survey, by Steve Pickett, CBSDFW.com (TX), January 11, 2017. Excerpt:
93 percent of polled officers surveyed said they were more concerned about their safety today than in the past. “Yes, it’s more dangerous, now you have officers watching their backs, even with your family, because the bad guys get to know you, they may see you at the mall, the movies, there’s a heightened awareness,” veteran Dallas PD officer George Aranda said.
(1) “Can the cops be stopped before they kill again?”
(2) “How (cops) get away with murder”
“They’re murdering our kids and getting away with it”
The Huff-Watch blog documented, in extensive detail the fact that HuffPost either knew, or should have known, that each of the above items it published were based on either lies, or grossly decontextualized data, and could only serve to help incite hatred of, and violence against police officers. Rather than being isolated incidents, these were only part of HuffPost’s ongoing, incendiary propaganda against police officers, disguised as “news” items, that See more detailed documentation of these incidents here and here.
Further, HuffPost has never published any of the scholarlyreports, including one by a black Harvard economics professor, that demonstrate the reality is the exact opposite of its incendiary allegations; specifically that police officers are actually less likely to shoot a black suspect than a white one. Nor has HuffPost published a recent report that documents how the “news” media is playing a key role in inciting racial hatred in America, based on false allegations such as these.
Through these malicious acts and omissions, HuffPost is playing a huge role in helping to create the libelous cauldron of hatred that is leading to attacks on police officers.
(4) HuffPost applauded as “perfect” an activist’s claim that a tiny minority of bad cops justifies “replacing the system” — yet dismissed proof that a sizable minority of Syrian refugees are radical Islamists, or support ISIS, as an “unfounded fear”
For reference, see sections 4 and 8 in this research report, produced by SaveTheWest.com, that demonstrates a sizable portion of refugees from Syria and other Middle Eastern nations (including on U.S. soil) believe in the radical Islamist ideology, and support ISIS.
In these two front-page articles, HuffPost demonstrates another of its double-jointed beliefs on vital national security matters. In the first case, it applauds a video blogger (“vlogger”) who claims that because a minority of police officers are bad, we should “replace the system.” Yet in the second instance, it explicitly claims that just because a minority of Syrian refugees are or may be terrorists or terror supporters, it should not dissuade America from taking them in. Further, it falsely claims that America employs rigorous screening procedures — a claim that it knew, or should have known, is false, as our top national security officials have testified, in many or most cases, this is impossible to do.
Vlogger Shuts Down ‘But There Are Good Cops Too’ With Perfect Analogy, by Aaron Barksdale, Huffington Post, December 3, 2015. Excerpt:
In the video, Kirk draws the parallel between police brutality and clean water. “If I live in a house where the water is coming out dirty sometimes I don’t just say ‘well, it’s not always dirty, so nothing is wrong.’ No, I need to replace the system,” he says.

Donald Trump Jr. Compares Syrian Refugees To Bowl Of Skittles; He grossly exaggerated the risk that a Syrian refugee could be a terrorist, by Marina Fang, Huffington Post, September 19, 2016. Excerpt:
Donald Trump Jr. used a bowl of Skittles to claim that admitting Syrian refugees poses a threat to the United States, perpetuating an unfounded fear. The son of GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump tweeted a graphic on Monday that warned of the danger of accepting Syrian refugees because some could be terrorists. […]
The comparison grossly overstates the proportion of refugees who have had ties to terrorist groups, and generalizes the process by which refugees and other types of immigrants come to the U.S.
The fact is that the vast majority of police officers whom HuffPost vilifies, and depicts as “bad,” end up being exonerated in courts of law, because they did nothing wrong. Yet it advocates replacing our entire law enforcement system, because of a micro-minority of bad cops. Yet in contrast, when a demonstrable, sizable minority of Syrian refugees are found to be radicalized, HuffPost attacks those who point out this reality.
(2d) “The 9 Most Punchable Martin Shkreli Faces (Just From Today)”
Few Americans would disagree with the proposition that pharmaceutical CEO Martin Shkreli is a reprehensible businessman. But in America, we resolve our differences through civil, peaceful means — and in the business realm, through market forces (when they are allowed to work).
The above is just one more example of HuffPost implicitly justifying violence, in the context of a front page “news” story on February 4, 2016 (as opposed to a blog article, which would be only slightly less of a violation of its “journalistic ethics”):
If HuffPost were consistent in its implicit advocacy of violence against those who have caused the most harm to Americans and their health care options, it would have directed some of its vitriol against Jonathan Gruber, the health economist from MIT. For it was Gruber who openly admitted that he and the Obama administration engaged in a campaign of lies and deception about its healthcare reform proposal, because of what he described as “the stupidity of the American voter”:
“[I]f you had a law which said that healthy people are going to pay in, you made explicit healthy people pay in and sick people get money, it would not have passed. Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage. And basically, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really really critical to get for the thing to pass. Look, I wish Mark was right that we could make it all transparent, but I’d rather have this law than not.”
See the videos that emerged of Gruber’s admissions here.
After these videos emerged, the administration steadfastly denied that Gruber was the architect of its healthcare plan. These denials were later proven false by extensive email records between Gruber and senior White House and Congressional officials.
Instead, as HuffPost’s own search engine proves, a search using the string “Jonathan Gruber lack of transparency stupidity American voter” returns zero results.
(3) Inciting racist hatred
The following case studies are excerpted from our master resource page, Examples of HuffPost inciting racial hatred:
(a) “It’s pretty clear who ruined America: white people.”
(b) “Let’s be honest, white people are the problem here”
(c) White people conspire to “steal elections”
(d) “The Klan won last night”
(e) Half of America’s voters are Nazis or Klan members
(f) “The ‘Perfect Crime’ in America Is Killing an Unarmed Black Man and Claiming Self-Defense”
(g) “Why I’m Tired of Seeing White People On The Big Screen”
(h) “Black women suffer from America”
(a) “It’s pretty clear who ruined America: white people.”
The above was from a racist editorial that HuffPost published at the top of its front page.
(b) “Let’s be honest, white people are the problem here”
This racist, anti-Semitic screed was published was demolished by a former Israeli soldier.
(c) White people conspire to “steal elections”
The above, racist screed was posted near the top of HuffPost’ front page.
(d) “The Klan won last night”
On November 9, 2016, HuffPost published an editorial near the top of its front page that claimed, “The Klan won last night.” Excerpt:
And it wasn’t just Donald Trump who won last night—it was his supporters too. The Klan won last night.
Note: Sometime after November 9, HuffPost selectively edited the above line out of its version of the editorial, but it remains at its original source, Vanity Fair (screencap). Apparently, HuffPost determined that this line had done its job, and it had nothing to lose by removing the line, after-the-fact.
(e) Half of America’s voters are Nazis or Klan members
This was HuffPost’s front page splash headline on November 12, 2016. No one knows who defaced this sign with this graffiti, if it was actually Nazis or racists, or whether it was one of the dozens and dozens of fake hate crimes that Hillary Clinton supporters perpetrated — which HuffPost knew, or had reason to know about, but consistently ignored. See examples beneath this screencap.
Examples of fake swastikas and anti-black graffiti incidents, 2013-2016:
- March 2016, Skokie, IL: Northwestern University chapel is vandalized with painted swastikas, “Trump”; Soon after, two leftist Jewish students confessed to perpetrating the crime, based on video evidence.
- November 2016, San Francisco, CA: A Nazi swastika flag was discovered flying over home; Soon after, it was discovered to be owned by an anti-Trump activist.
- December 2016, Ormond Beach, FL: Woman finds pro-Trump, anti-black racist graffiti (KKK) and threats at her home, and her car on fire; Soon after, her (black) ex-boyfriend confessed to perpetrating the crimes.
- November 2016, South Philadelphia, PA: The day after the election, numerous homes, vehicles were vandalized with racist, pro-Trump graffiti; The next day, the perpetrator, a black man, is arrested and charged.
- February-March 2013, Oberlin, OH: During a one-month period, Oberlin College was the site of repeated anti-black, anti-Semitic and homophobic graffiti, including swastikas; A police investigation identified the perpetrators as leftist activists.
- August 2013, Jersey City, NJ: Black candidate for high school student council reported receiving racist text messages, threatening him to drop out of the race; Police determined he sent texts to himself.
See many more examples of fake hate crimes at:
Further, it is notable that HuffPost consistently ignores actual, documented hate crimes against Jews, and has for many years. In 2015 alone, HuffPost ignored 18 such incidents, many of which occurred within New York City, where it is headquartered. See:
Anti-Semitic hate incidents in America in 2015 — all of which HuffPost ignored
This is especially notable when one considers how consistently HuffPost explicitly incites hatred against Jews, as documented in Section 4, below.
(3f) “The ‘Perfect Crime’ in America Is Killing an Unarmed Black Man and Claiming Self-Defense”
On August 29, 2014, HuffPost featured this incitement-based editorial on its front page. It did this despite the plethora of contradictory evidence that was coming forward at the time, that indicated Michael Brown had grabbed Officer Darren Wilson’s gun and was attempting to murder him with it. Rather than being an isolated incident, this libelous editorial was part of HuffPost’s ongoing lies, deception and bias at the time, in order to incite hatred against American police officers.
(3g) “Why I’m Tired of Seeing White People On The Big Screen”
Imagine if this “news” headline read, “Why I’m Tired of Seeing Black People On The Big Screen,” or “”Why I’m Tired of Seeing Brown People On The Big Screen,” or “Why I’m Tired of Seeing Muslims On The Big Screen.”
Given the precedents documented in this report, it is clear that HuffPost would be first out of the gate to condemn this racism and bigotry with front-page shock headlines. And yet, this is HuffPost itself, promoting such a racially bigoted blog article, on its front page:
Why I’m Tired of Seeing White People On The Big Screen
(h) “Black women suffer from America”
This “news” story about “suffering from America” appeared on HuffPost’s front page on March 18, 2017 . (Curiously, HuffPost published this on its front page, while completely ignoring an incident, two days earlier, in which a Hollywood actor publicly said that if he could go back in time, he would assassinate President Trump. Details here.)

(4a) “Fucking dick the fat Jew”
(4b) At least Hitler “meant well, by eliminating Jews”
H/T to the Little Green Footballs blog, which broke this story; quoted verbatim:
HuffPo Writer: At Least Hitler Meant Well
At the Huffington Post, your one-stop shop for leftist vitriol and deranged hatred, former Washington Post sportswriter and Seinfeld co-producer Peter Mehlman says the Bush administration is far worse than the world’s worst fascist dictators. At least the dictators meant well.
So now we’re six and a half years into Bush and everyone from Helen Thomas on down is declaring him the worst president ever. What no one is saying is the one overarching reason he’s the worst: the Bush administration is the first that doesn’t even mean well. […]
You could argue that even the world’s worst fascist dictators at least meant well. They honestly thought were doing good things for their countries by suppressing blacks/eliminating Jews/eradicating free enterprise/repressing individual thought/killing off rivals/invading neighbors, etc.
As of December 5, 2016, the editorial was still live at HuffPost — nine years after it was first published — and the deranged writer is still one of its official bloggers.
(4c) “Swedish article suggests Israeli troops kill Palestinians, harvest organs”
Just one tiny problem with this “news” story that HuffPost put on its front page: HuffPost knew, before it published this classic anti-Semitic blood libel, that the “journalist” who wrote this “story” openly admitted — in the story itself — that he had “no idea, no clue” if the allegation is true or not:
Interviewed on Israel Radio on Wednesday, [Donald] Bostrom said he was worried by the allegations he reported but could not vouch for their accuracy. “It concerns me, to the extent that I want it to be investigated, that’s true. But whether it’s true or not – I have no idea, I have no clue,” he told the station.
Also, this picture was not associated with, and is completely unrelated to the original story. HuffPost’s editors had to search for a picture that would add that last bit of anti-Semitic incitement to the “story.” In this case, it found and used one that shows grinning IDF soldiers marching towards the camera, presumably gleeful over having murdered more Palestinians and stealing their organs — and another, which it used to promote this “story” atop its other top story pages of the day, showing an IDF soldier praying next to a tank.
Soon after HuffPost published this “story,” physicians from around the world debunked the medical aspects of it as “impossible,” and the Palestinian family cited in the story claimed they never made this allegation. More debunking here.
HuffPost never published an update to the “story,” nor did it apologize to its readers, to Jews, or to Israel and the IDF. Instead, by the time this SaveTheWest report was written, HuffPost had simply removed it, apparently deciding that its ongoing work to defame Jews — and help incite and justify Palestinian terrorist attacks on them — had already achieved its purpose.
(4d) “Romney’s motorcade chased by ‘pack’ of Orthodox Jews”
Anyone who follows HuffPost knows that if it ever caught a conservative publication referring to Muslims as chasing anything in a “pack,” it would go ballistic with condemnations about racism, Islamophobia and bigotry, and might have gone on one of its notorious “headline jihads” against the perpetrator. (In fact, HuffPost set up an entire sub-site dedicated to chronicling every allegation of unkindness against Muslims in America — while not setting up a similar sub-site, to document the fact that there are 3-5 times as many hate crimes against Jews.)
There was one tiny problem with this “news” story, which HuffPost published on its front page: it knew, or should have known, that the “journalist” who wrote, Sam Stein, it was either lying, or grossly incorrect. Specifically, because as the NY Times exposed, this “pack” of Jews was chasing Romney because they were fans, and wanted to get their pictures taken with him.
And although HuffPost eventually rewrote the headline to remove the anti-Semitic slur, as of December 4, 2016 (four years later), it allowed its embedded slide show to continue advancing the lie that the Jewish wedding party had “chased off” Romney:
(4e) “This filthy Jewess is so done with the alt-right”
(4f) Whitewashing and justifying Palestinian terrorism against Jews
In the fall of 2015, the Palestinians mounted their latest terror campaign against Jewish civilians in Israel. Palestinians from age 11 and over were stabbing, shooting and running over Jews on a near-daily basis, and ultimately killed 26 people, including five Americans. HuffPost, however, ignored 94 of the 105 attacks that occurred between the beginning of the “Third Intifada,” on September 15, and November 1, and whitewashed or justified the remaining attacks, as chronicled in SaveTheWest’s recent documentary:
“HuffPost’s Anti-Semitic Bias and Incitement During the Third Intifada”
As part of HuffPost’s bias and incitement campaign against Jews during this period, on October 16, 2015, it published this editorial at the top of its World page, the headline of which explicitly justifies Palestinian terrorist attacks on Jews. And Huffpost left it there for six straight days.
Three days later, on October 19, HuffPost published this “story” as the splash headline on its World page, which it matched with this sympathetic picture of an apparently exhausted Palestinian rioter, or terrorist:
In this editorial, the “journalist” compared Palestinian teenagers to those she encountered as a “teacher” in America, and in the West Bank, as being:
“[n]ormal kids who wanted normal lives… [T]hey wanted to sleep through the night without the fear of soldiers raiding their house, turning it upside down, or stationing themselves on the roof… [T]oday’s stabbings… are cries of despair and hopelessness…”
Just one tiny problem: one of the architects of the Third Intifada, Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh confirmed that:
“This intifada is not the result of despair. This intifada is a jihad, a holy war fought by the Palestinian people against the Zionist occupation. Only a holy war will drive the occupier out of Palestine.”
HuffPost chose to completely ignore that refutation, and identical other ones, by both the perpetrators and inciters of the Third Intifada. Instead, as documented here, HuffPost chose to publish “news” items such as these on its front page:
“Lost Erotica Of Spain Reveals An Overlooked Feminist History (NSFW)”
“Here’s What Happened When These Gay Men Touched A Vagina For The First Time”
“Newly Discovered Trench In Loch Ness Is Just The Right Size For A Monster”
(4g) Israel is “fantasizing about getting Washington to go to war with Iran”
One classic anti-Semitic libel is that Jews conspire to trick nations into going to war against each other, for the Jews’ benefit. HuffPost employed it during its 2013-2015 cheerleading for the phony Iran deal (documented here), when it published the following editorial at the top of its World page, and left it there for three straight days.
Iran and America at Heaven’s Gate?, by Michael Brenner, Huffington Post, March 16, 2015. Excerpt (emphasis added):
If Israel fails to get Washington to go to war with Iran, it will have lost a very big bet. More fantasizing will not get it out of that hole. […] There also is the possibility of Israeli attack aircraft being shot out of the sky by the United States as they overfly Iraq or even approach Iran from a circuitous route via Saudi Arabia. It strikes me that a compelling case can be made for the United States to do just that.
(4h) Perpetuating the lie that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accepted Congress’s invitation to address it, before President Obama had been notified
A few hours before Benjamin Netanyahu’s March 2015 speech to Congress, HuffPost published this splash headline story. Note that the headline copy put incendiary words into Netanyahu’s mouth, clearly implying that he had done something to insult President Obama:
The story page to which this incendiary headline led contained this passage (emphasis added):
HUFFPOLLSTER: Netanyahu Visit Polarizes Americans, by Mark Blumenthal, Ariel Edwards-Levy and Janie Velencia, The Huffington Post, March 2, 2015 7:50 am ET.
“Nearly half of American voters — 48 percent — say that congressional Republicans should not have invited Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address Congress on Tuesday without first notifying President Barack Obama, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.”
This false allegation originated in a story in the New York Times, that simply repeated an allegation by White House operatives that President Obama had not been notified in advance about Netanyahu’s acceptance of Speaker Boehner’s invitation to address Congress.
In reality, as HuffPost knew or should have known, the New York Times had corrected that false story more than a month earlier, on January 30, publishing this notation at the end of the article:
“An earlier version of this article misstated when Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel accepted Speaker John A. Boehner’s invitation to address Congress. He accepted after the administration had been informed of the invitation, not before.”
Ed Lasky at American Thinker publicized the NYT’s correction, and the fact that this was a lie that originated in the Obama administration, on January 31.
Further, contrary to HuffPost’s assertion in the headline that Netanyahu’s speech was “polarizing Americans,” according to a story by Bloomberg two weeks earlier, a CNN-ORC national survey revealed that nearly twice as many Americans said they wanted Netanyahu to speak to Congress, as those who didn’t (even though many assumed the White House false narrative was correct, about its not being informed in advance).
As this screencap from May 28, 2016 shows, HuffPost never corrected its story, or published a retraction on either its front page or World page.
(4i) Falsely alleging that Israel “just wanted to kill as many people as possible” during defensive actions against Hamas terrorism
One of the largest and most respected Jewish civil rights organizations, the Simon Wiesenthal Center, blasted this headline story, and the entire premise behind it, as an outrageous anti-Semitic lie:
Wiesenthal Center: Huffington Post Headline on Gaza ‘Takes Art of Lying to New Depths’, by Joshua Levitt, The Algemeiner, July 24, 2014. Excerpt:
Simon Wiesenthal Center Associate Dean Rabbi Abraham Cooper on Thursday slammed the Huffington Post and reporter Sophie Jones, its Middle East correspondent, for the sensationalist headline, “‘They Just Wanted to Kill as Many People as Possible.”’ Cooper said the headline, accusing Israel of targeting civilians in its current war against Hamas in Gaza, and Jones’s reporting, “takes the art of lying and self-delusion to new depths.” […]
“Israel made a commitment unmatched by any other country in wartime to use technology to minimize civilian casualties,” he said. “Is it perfect, of course not. But Gazans know the truth – Hamas, who they voted into power, has turned them into human shields, their enemy Israel has tried to help them survive.”
Jones’s own reporting contradicted the article’s headline, as several of her “dozens of interviews” described how they and their families safely left their homes after the IDF warned as many as people as possible in their neighborhood.
Not only has HuffPost never apologized for or retracted the story, as this screencap shows, from December 6, 2016, it turned up the heat on propagating incendiary lies against Israel.
(4j) Depicting a Jewish U.S. Senator in blackface, as a means of humiliating him for not supporting HuffPost’s favored candidate
This racist, anti-Semitic screed was written by flame-throwing blogger Jane Hamsher, into which HuffPost allowed her to insert this Photoshop-altered image of Sen. Lieberman to appear in blackface, to assail him because she alleged he was being disloyal to the Democratic Party. (The reader must figure out how disloyalty equates with being a fake black person, and if this relates to HuffPost’s lily-white executive staff.)
Although HuffPost later removed this anti-Semitic image, after a public firestorm, it has allowed the article to remain posted, and Hamsher to remain an active blogger.
(4k) Falsely claiming that “Israeli jets strike Gaza as leaders convene peace talks”
The following is summarized from an article at Huffington Post Monitor.
After Hamas instigated another war with Israel, HuffPost published the above teaser at the top of its story pages, which read, “Israeli jets strike Gaza as leaders convene peace talks.” This “news” story opened with:
“Militants launched mortar shells into Israel and Israeli jets bombed targets in Gaza on Wednesday, just as Israeli and Palestinian leaders held peace talks in Jerusalem with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Gaza militants opposed to peace with Israel have threatened to derail the fledgling negotiations, and the Israeli military said eight mortars and one rocket hit Israel by mid-afternoon on the day of the talks – the highest daily total since March 2009. There were no injuries.”
Later the same day, as documented by Huff-Watch, HuffPost revised the copy to read:
(4l) Posting on its two Arabic editions a story claiming that a Jewish woman murdered the Prophet Muhammad — then refusing (a) to even respond to letters of complaint from the ADL, or (b) to take the article down.
Huffpost Arabic refuses to remove post claiming a Jew poisoned Muhammad; Rebuffing ADL request to take down ‘anti-Semitic screed,’ website instead rephrases headline as a question, by JTA (via Times of London), January 13, 2017. Excerpt:
The Anti-Defamation League called on the Huffington Post’s Arabic-language edition to remove a blog post claiming a Jewish woman poisoned the Prophet Muhammad with arsenic.
The ADL has been urging the site to take down the article since shortly after it was published Nov. 29, the organization said in a press release on Thursday.
“It is troubling that an anti-Semitic screed cleared The Huffington Post’s editorial review process and that our concerns so far have been ignored,” said ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt. “We call on The Huffington Post to immediately remove this offensive entry and to ensure that the proper safeguards are in place so that the Arabic site is free of anti-Semitism and incitement against Jews.”
And from the Jewish News Service (JNS) on January 13, 2017:
The [HuffPost] blog, originally published Nov. 29, stated outright in its title that a Jewish woman used arsenic to poison Mohammed, while the text included that claim and other anti-Jewish conspiracy theories. The ADL initially reached out to the editor of the Huffington Post Arabic website Dec.7, but never received a response.

(5a) HuffPost sympathized with a “homesick American jihadi”
(5b) HuffPost’s history of re-branding terrorists, terror-supporters and cop-killers as “activists” and “leaders
(5c) HuffPost published a glowing fashion pictorial of a mass-murderer’s wife
(5d) HuffPost suggested that the Las Vegas mass-murderer may have been motivated by a “social justice” desire, to alert Americans to the danger of the NRA
(5e) HuffPost whitewashed, relabeled the domestic terror group ANTIFA as “community activists” who face a “dilemma” over their desire to “crack skulls” of people they don’t like
(5a) HuffPost sympathized with a “homesick American jihadi”
The following is summarized from a detailed report at Huff-Watch.
HuffPost published simultaneously on its front page and World page a “news” story about an Islamist terrorist, Abu Mansoor al-Amriki (“The American”), who complained that he was “homesick,” in part because his gang’s leaders won’t let him touch the “war booty” that he captures. Excerpts, from his tragic, sad story:
“War booty is eaten by the top dogs, but the guys who won it are jailed for touching it,” Amriki says in one message on Twitter. It is a sharp turnaround for a man who once issued rap videos aimed at recruiting foreign fighters. […]
“What I would like though is to have a three day visit to see my mom, dad and sister… I often wonder what this whole experience has done to them,” he writes in the book, adding he misses his daughter whom he abandoned in Egypt as a baby.
“I’d like to make a round of the restaurants and get some Chinese food, some hot (chicken) wings, some Nestle ice cream, some gourmet coffee and a slew of other foods and beverages.”
Curiously, even though Arianna Huffington says, “There is an objective reality, and it is the media’s job to present it unequivocally,” HuffPost either failed or refused to mention in this story that the “war booty” to which Mansoor referred is the women and girls that his gang, Al Shabaab, is notorious for kidnapping and sexually terrorizinge And to ensure that poor Mansoor’s story became widely known, HuffPost kept the story on the front page for two straight days, and on the World page for five.
Just as curiously, while HuffPost was devoting such sustained, graphic, front-page, sympathetic coverage to a terrorist-rapist, it completely ignored Sgt. Clinton Romesha, who at the same time was being awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor, for his heroic service during one of the worst post-9/11 firefights, in Afghanistan.
(5b) HuffPost’s history of re-branding terrorists, terror-supporters and cop-killers as “activists” and “leaders”
This has been a long-term practice at HuffPost. A few examples:
(1) Re-branding Al Qaeda supporters, financiers and radicalizers as “activists”
From the Jawa Report blog:
The story page to which this incendiary headline led, written by three HuffPost “journalists,” claimed that the NSA “spied” on the porn habits of “activists,” who merely “expressed controversial ideas”:
[T]he NSA believes the targeted individuals radicalize people through the expression of controversial ideas via YouTube, Facebook and other social media websites. Their audience, both English and Arabic speakers, “includes individuals who do not yet hold extremist views but who are susceptible to the extremist message,” the document states.
Just one tiny problem: As HuffPost’s own story page revealed, these weren’t “activists,” they were Al Qaeda supporters, propagandists and financiers:
Sometime after the Jawa Report exposed HuffPost for re-branding Al Qaeda supporters as “activists,” it rewrote the story page headline, to now read:
(2) Re-branding a notorious Palestinian mass-murderer as a “leader”
The following is a summary of a post by Huff-Watch:
HuffPost published this story teaser near the top of its World page:
This was the entirety of the story that HuffPost published about this man whom it calls a jailed Palestinian “leader,” Marwah Barghouti. Note the last line, which follows a nebulous statement about how he “led an armed uprising against Israel”:
“He is serving five life terms for his role in the conflict.”
Curiously, HuffPost says nothing about specifically what he was sentenced to five life times for doing.
Turns out, the copy that HuffPost published was a selectively edited version of a much longer AP article, which contained just a few more details about this “leader”:
Barghouti, convicted on murder charges in 2002, is serving five life sentences for his role in fatal Palestinian attacks. […] Barghouti, 51, was a leader of a Palestinian uprising that began in 2000, during which a wave of suicide bombings rocked Israeli cities and killed more than 1,000 civilians.
Here are some of the additional details that HuffPost refused to ferret out for its readers (in direction violation of Arianna Huffington’s adage that “[T]he highest calling of journalists is to ferret out the truth, consequences be damned”):
“(Barghouti is) the founder of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades which has carried out a large number of deadly terrorist attacks killing scores of Israelis and wounding hundreds… (H)e received large amounts of funds from different sources both inside and outside Israel… (which he used) to finance… dozens of attacks, including a large number of suicide bombings within Israel. (Examples include):
- Jun 12, 2001 – The murder of a Greek Orthodox monk on the road to Ma’ale Adumim.
Jan 17, 2002 – The shooting attack during a bat mitzva celebration.. (s)ix Israelis were killed in this attack, 26 were injured. (UK Telegraph account here; BBC’s account here; Wikipedia entry here)
- Jan 22, 2002 – The shooting spree on Jaffa Street in Jerusalem. Two Israelis were killed, 37 wounded.
- Feb 25, 2002 – The shooting attack in the Jerusalem residential neighborhood of Neve Ya’acov. One Israeli policewoman was killed, 9 Israelis were wounded.
- Feb 27, 2002 – The murder of an Israeli at a coffee factory in the Atarot industrial zone of Jerusalem.
- Feb 27, 2002 – The suicide attack perpetrated by Daryan Abu Aysha at the Maccabim checkpoint in which two policeman were injured.
- Mar 5, 2002 – The shooting spree at the Tel Aviv Seafood restaurant. Three Israelis were killed, 31 wounded.
- Mar 8, 2002 – A suicide terrorist was killed in Daheat el Barid as he was on his way to carry out an attack in Jerusalem.
In the negotiations for (Gilad) Shalit’s freedom, Hamas officials are demanding that Israel release leading terrorists including… Marwan Barghouti, a senior Fatah member.
Curiously, as of December 6, 2016, HuffPost has removed the page in its entirety — as if this whole episode never occurred:
“There is an objective reality, and it is the media’s job to present it unequivocally.”
“[Arianna Huffington] is offended and bewildered by the suggestion that other news outlets think she’s getting a free ride. She sees herself as the future of journalism, not the end of it.”
(3) Re-branding the convicted murderer of a police officer as an “activist” — and whitewashing a teacher who assigned her preteen child students to write “get-well” cards to him
The following is summarized from the Huff-Watch blog:
So who is this man, whom HuffPost described as an “activist”? His name is Mumia Abu-Jamal, a militant founding member of the Black Panthers, who was convicted of murdering police officer Daniel Faulkner. From DiscoverTheNetworks:
[T]he event that decisively catapulted Abu-Jamal into the public eye occurred shortly after 3:55 a.m. on December 9, 1981, when a 25-year-old white Philadelphia police officer named Daniel Faulkner made a traffic stop of William Cook, Abu-Jamal’s brother, who was driving the wrong way down a one-way street. Faulkner pulled behind Cook’s car, radioed for police backup, approached Cook’s vehicle, and ordered the driver to get out of his car.
While Faulkner handcuffed the driver, Abu-Jamal, who was employed at that time as a cab driver, was parked across the street in his taxi. He suddenly got out of his vehicle, ran toward Faulkner, and shot him in the back. As the officer fell, he drew his own gun and managed to shoot Abu-Jamal in the chest, wounding but not killing him. The gun-wielding cabdriver then fired repeatedly at Faulkner, finally dispatching him from close range with a bullet between his eyes. Abu Jamal’s presence near the scene of the roadside stop at that particular moment has led to serious speculation that William Cook had intentionally led Faulkner into an ambush—one that had all the earmarks of other Black Panther provocations in places like Newark and Oakland.
The body of evidence placing Abu-Jamal at the scene of Faulkner’s killing was overwhelming. When the arresting officers arrived at the scene, Abu-Jamal was sitting on a curb near Faulkner’s corpse, with a fresh gunshot wound incurred from the young officer’s weapon.
Not only did five witnesses see Abu-Jamal shoot Faulkner, but the bullets that were later pulled from Faulkner’s chest and brain were matched to the .38 caliber handgun that was registered to Abu-Jamal and which was sitting at his feet when the police arrived at the murder scene. Moreover, the gun had five empty cartridges when investigators found it.
Next, did this teacher really only ask students to write to Al-Jamal, as HuffPost claimed? No. As HuffPost knew, or should have known, this was no suggestion: it was a class assignment, as NewsDay reported by four days before HuffPost published its “story”:
HuffPost eventually changed its story page headline to more closely approximate reality, while taking a morally neutral stance on the notion of a teacher assigning students to write get-well cards to a convicted murderer:
However, as of December 6, 2016, HuffPost’s story page still insists that the teacher only “asked” her students to write get-well cards to Abu-Jamal:
(5c) HuffPost provided a glowing fashion pictorial of a mass-murderer’s wife
Syrian dictator Basher Assad has long been known as one of the world’s most brutal Islamist tyrants, following in the footsteps of his father, Syria’s former dictator, Hafez Assad. To help whitewash the dictatorship’s image, Assad hired Western public relations firms to smooth the way for glowing portrayals of him, and his wife, Asma.
And as in numerous other cases that SaveTheWest has documented, HuffPost was apparently only too happy to play along.
The following copy is from The Shame Project; image capture by SaveTheWest, courtesy of the Internet Archive:
HuffPo has been caught pushing positive PR for foreign dictators. The New York Times reported that in 2009 HuffPo published a short article accompanied by a “fashion slide show” titled “Asma al-Assad: Syria’s First Lady and All-Natural Beauty” not long after the Assad family began using Western PR firms to “shape her image.”
Also see our special report, “The Rhodes To HuffPost”: The Huffington Post’s use of lies, deception, bias and anti-Semitic incitement in order to help ‘sell’ the Iran deal,” for additional incidents in which HuffPost whitewashed, and acted as a volunteer PR agency for murderous Islamist dictators.
(5d) HuffPost suggested that the Las Vegas mass-murderer may have been motivated by a “social justice” desire, to alert Americans to the danger of the NRA
On October 3, 2017, HuffPost published this editorial on its front page:
An excerpt:
The NRA can spout that guns don’t kill people, people kill people, and that an armed citizenry is the best protection against an armed menace. But Paddock could not have undermined such NRA rhetoric better if he tried to, and he may have tried to.
his neighbors and family didn’t know him to be a gun nut. If that doesn’t explain it, he may have dressed the set for some other reason. It is at least conceivable he was trying, however dementedly, to make the opposite statement: that the NRA’s unrestrained interpretation of the Second Amendment is literally overkill.
(5e) HuffPost whitewashed, relabeled the domestic terror group ANTIFA as “community activists” who face a “dilemma” over their desire to “crack skulls” of people whom they view as “fascists”
On December 10, 2017, HuffPost published the following as its front page splash headline:
Clicking on that headline brought the reader to this “story” page:
The Nazi-Puncher’s Dilemma: Inside the antifa movement’s struggle to continue its long, colorful legacy of cracking white supremacist heads without alienating, well, just about everyone, by Luke O’Brien, Huffington Post, December 10, 2017.
Let’s just pause here for a moment. Notice the tacit endorsement of ANTIFA’s endemic initiation of violence against people whom they view as “white supremacists,” which often means, anyone who dares to disagree with their radical leftist, communist-supporting ideology.
This was just the starting point of what amounted to HuffPost’s love letter to ANTIFA, which the state of New Jersey, and the FBI, recently designated a domestic terrorist organization. Some excerpts from the article (emphasis added):
There is a growing desire in this country to punch Nazis in the face. At least, this is what I hear from people who punch Nazis in the face. Some gleefully send me videos of other people punching Nazis in the face, such as the one from September featuring a Nazi in Seattle who threw a banana at a man and, in return, ate a very professional right cross. The Nazi fell to the ground and lay there unconscious. When he came to, he removed his Nazi armband and shuffled off.
Anyone following the news knows who’s doing the bulk of this Nazi-punching: “antifa.” It’s an esoteric and often confounding term. Although short for “anti-fascist” — an expansive category that one would imagine includes millions of Americans — “antifa” has quickly come to connote a very specific stereotype: a black-clad, violent, leftist subversive.
Most Americans first learned about antifa in February, when what looked like a gang of ninjas set fires and broke windows to stop Milo Yiannopoulos, a race-baiting former Breitbart News editor, from speaking on the University of California, Berkeley campus, where he reportedly intended to out undocumented students.
The article continues on this trajectory, romanticizing, justifying, and defending ANTIFA terrorists, concluding with a thinly-veiled endorsement of their tactics:
If the militant antifa I spoke to were concerned that social media could be used against them, they didn’t elaborate. “No matter how good we are, it’s going to happen anyway. We’re going to get vilified,” Bello says. […]
So what, ultimately, does one old antifa head think is to be done about the scrubbed-up, boy-next-door alt-right? What, in other words, should he do about Pepe?
“Punch anybody who wears it.”
Then, on December 11, HuffPost upped the ante, by posting this revised headline on its front page — now calling ANTIFA terrorists “community activists”:Key background data about ANTIFA
There has been a documented explosion of political violence by left-of-center partisans in America, and around the world in the last several years, led by ANTIFA.
What distinguishes this wave of violence by ANTIFA leftists is that it is often incited and morally justified by college professors and in some cases, influential “news” organizations. This “mainstreaming” and “normalizing” of violence is unique to the left; there are no right-wing colleges that are openly facilitating professors and guest speakers who brazenly, emphatically advance violence laden-narratives, like “By Any Means Necessary,” or align with left-wing domestic terrorist groups like ANTIFA:
Criminal Justice Prof Justifies Antifa Violence
Dartmouth Professor Defends Antifa Violence
Some of America’s Top Colleges & Universities Have Allegedly Endorsed the Violent Antifa Movement
Antifa violence forces Berkeley campus police to rethink and modify their tactics
Left-Wing Writer Describes Scalise Shooting as ‘Self-Defense’
Antifa leader, teacher Yvonne Felarca arrested at ’empathy tent’ Berkeley brawl
Domestic Terror Threats: Media Mislead the Public
What is ‘Antifa’? And why is the media so reluctant to expose it?
Yet HuffPost never reports on those facts — or the fact that ANTIFA’s recent designation by the Department of Homeland Security and the State of New Jersey as a domestic terrorist organization.
Nor has HuffPost reported on a single one of the more than 100 hate crimes and terrorist attacks — some caught on video — that have been perpetrated in the last two years by radical leftists, predominantly by ANTIFA, on anyone whom they view as a political enemy, as documented on this page:
Examples of HuffPost ignoring hate crimes against people it views as Worthless
Contrast HuffPost’s swooning love affair with ANTIFA — and its refusal to publish anything about its actual crimes, motives and ultimate objectives — to the prominent, graphic, critical coverage it gives to Nazis and white supremacists:
On October 21, 2017 HuffPost published this story on its front page:
(6) “Jesus Is Gay”; “Jesus Was a ‘Power-Bottom'”
HuffPost has published an escalating series of accusations that “Jesus is gay,” in both straightforward and extremely vulgar terms. Curiously, it has never published anything that accuses any other religious deity of being gay. In chronological order:
Jesus Would Have Hung Out At Gay Bars; “Christians, can we just drop the judgement[sp] already?,” by Kimberly Poovey, Huffington Post, June 12, 2016.
Ed.: HuffPost published this article at 10:00pm on June 12, 2016, 20 hours after the Pulse nightclub massacre, which began at 2:00am. More than twelve hours earlier, however, at 9:28am on June 12, HuffPost published an article that identified the shooter as a radical Islamist, Omar Matteen. Yet more than twelve hours later, HuffPost published the above editorial, which asked, “Christians, can we just drop the judgement[sp] already?” — bizarrely shielding Islam from any association with the Pulse massacre, and instead assigning the blame for it to Christianity. See the details in Sections 1 & 2 here.
“Jesus Is Gay,” by RJ Martin, Huffington Post, July 15, 2016.
‘Walking Dead’ Star Tom Payne Basically Confirms Jesus Is Gay; Our savior!, by Bill Bradley, Huffington Post, November 29, 2016.
Jesus Was A Power Bottom, by Matthew Fifer, Huffington Post, June 28, 2017.
[Ed.: See the definition of “power bottom” here; caution, vulgar language.]
Special note: Which corporations’ advertising enabled these assaults on Jesus — all after the Pulse massacre?

Amazon
Discover Card
Honda
Land Rover of Richmond
State Farm & Car Gurus
T-Mobile and Whirlpool
(7) Anti-American propaganda
For years, HuffPost has been churning out anti-American propaganda, against our culture, military, law enforcement communities and history, based on either lies, egregious exaggerations or incendiary double-standards. Here are several pages containing more than 175 detailed case studies of this phenomenon:
Examples of HuffPost inciting racial hatred (40 case studies)
One recent example was an item HuffPost placed near the top of its front page, that argued America should be banned from the Olympics:
Ban The United States From The Olympics
Note that HuffPost’s editorial screed, which was disguised as a “news” item, mentioned nothing about:
- The fact that North Korea is allowed to participate in the Olympics, despite the well-documented knowledge that it has enslaved 25 million people, is starving many of them, sends entire families (and extended families), including children, into hard-labor prison labor camps — for life — upon even a rumor that one of their relatives said something critical of the ruling regime, and uses child rape as a means of economic barter.
- All the other nations that have horrific human rights abuse records, which are allowed to participate in the Olympics. HuffPost said not one word about any of them, or even suggested that the should be banned.
HuffPost isolated and vilified only one nation, according to an irrational, extreme and egregious double-standard — the United States of America.
Note also that expensive banner ads for Buick and Esurance ads appeared on the page containing this anti-American screed. Do their senior executives really know what it is they are enabling? If you’d like to make your voice known to its CEOs, learn how at our advertiser contact listings for Buick and Esurance.
(8) Examples of HuffPost giving top coverage to traumatized teenagers who are against the Second Amendment — while ignoring others who support it, and who condemned the news media’s bias, after the Parkland, FL school shootings
“At The Huffington Post we’re relentless in our coverage of… injustice… [and] are equally relentless in giving our readers and viewers a full and accurate idea of the entire human story. […]”
– Arianna Huffington, August 21, 2014
In contrast to HuffPost’s supposed “new mission,” in the wake of the massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, FL, HuffPost established and rigorously enforced a jarring bias to which events and voices it will cover:
- The events and voices that are against the Second Amendment, and condemn the NRA, President Trump and Republicans, get front-page, graphic, sympathetic coverage
- The events and voices that in any way dissent from these views, and/or condemn the news media for exploiting the teenage survivors of the Parkland tragedy to advance an anti-gun, anti-NRA, anti-Trump political agenda, get ignored, or vilified
