Opinion pieces belong in the opinion section of news organizations. When the Huffington Post uses their headlines to express opinions they lose whatever small façade they have of being a true news organization.
I’m truly intrigued by the backhanded slap to 282,000 American Citizens for casting their ballots for the person they believe best fits their personal opinion of who should lead the country. The Huffington Post is attempting to intimidate voters – again, in my opinion, this is not the job of the Huffington Post or any other public entity.
