Sam Stein Defends HuffPo’s Decision to Put Trump on Entertainment Page: ‘Very Tough Editorial Choices’

‘I don’t think we’re unique in trying to or grappling with the idea of this phenomenon

STEIN: "First things first, I do want to address actually what Michael was saying because I think it is important. I think it does get to discussion about the media and role it played here. You know, there were very tough editorial choices that everyone was making and every newsroom across this country about what Trump was and what he meant. And as I've said before on this program, one thing we grappled with was that here was a person who was from the world of entertainment. And what did it mean when he came into power and how do you cover him editorially. Now obviously we missed it, right? I mean, but a lot of people missed it too."
