A retrospective look at the 2015 election cycle recalls the Huffington Post's decision to cover Donald Trump's campaign in the "Entertainment" section rather than "Politics." Ryan Grim, then the Washington bureau chief, argued Trump was not a serious candidate. This strategy is cited as a major media miscalculation that failed to recognize the political movement behind the candidate.

An investigation into $5 billion in aid sent to Ukraine since 1992 reveals significant funding directed toward non-governmental organizations (NGOs) for "civic engagement" and "investigative journalism." Concerns are raised regarding the lack of transparency in OMB memos and the role of USAID in funding groups that influence foreign electoral processes. The narrative suggests these funds are often used to install preferred political regimes under the guise of promoting democracy.

The Wall Street Journal reports that Verizon is struggling to monetize its digital media acquisitions, including AOL and Huffington Post.

Media outlets like the Huffington Post and commentators on CNN are expanding the definition of white supremacy to include the "notion of the preservation of white culture." This shift in language has led to claims that white athletes who stand for the anthem are supporting white supremacy. Critics argue that the constant changing of word meanings in the media is disturbing and stifles honest discourse.

The American Public Health Association (APHA) is promoting a campaign to treat gun violence as a public health issue, similar to automobile safety or smoking.
