Huffington Post kills editor’s note calling Trump ‘racist’

Published November 9, 2016 6:30am ET



The Huffington Post announced late Tuesday that it is killing the editor’s note in all of stories mentioning Donald Trump which states the Republican nominee is a “racist” and “misogynist,” among other allegations.

The website’s Washington D.C. bureau chief, Ryan Grim, emailed staffers Tuesday evening about the organization’s decision to remove the note. Grim cited the move as part of its plan to commence post-election Trump coverage with a “clean slate.”
