Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee will launch a news publication “Huckabee Post” in January 2014, ABC News has learned.
The site will cover a range of topics from news and politics to sports and pop culture, according to the former governor’s son, David Huckabee.
Mediaite first spotted an ad on Craigslist announcing the developing outlet, which was advertising for full-time reporters who can work in the website’s New York and D.C. offices.
Mike Huckabee, who recently ended his radio show, made headlines last week after dropping hints that he is considering another run for president in 2016, telling the New York Times he’s “keeping the door open,” thanks in part to the recent wealth he has accumulated in his media ventures.
David Huckabee told ABC News that Huckabee Post is a “natural extension and expansion” of the discussion of news and commentary Huckabee already does online, and has done through other media outlets, such as his radio show and Fox News programs.
You know every once in a while I catch Huckabee on his Fox show and he has no shame about spreading the most vile BS in this folksy aw shucks manner that somehow makes it seem more malevolent then when it is done by Sean Hannity or Bill O'Reilly.
You almost want to trust Huckabee and that makes it all the more jarring when you hear him lying about Benghazi or blowing things WAY out of proportion concerning the Affordable Care Act.
I have no doubt that this sad little HuffPo knock off will simply be a cornier version of Breitbart or the Drudge report.
I would not look for any actual journalism to be practiced there, and anything which emerges will be heavily marinated is Right Wing crazy sauce.
Oh and did you notice that he is taking a page from Palin and supposedly "keeping the door open" for a presidential run in 2016. Yeah well I have seen him recently and any doors that are left open better be double doors because he has gained back ALL of the weight he lost before running last time.
Wow. He got heavy again.
ReplyDeleteGreat, let him run and drain that pile of cash he has accumulated spreading lies and fear.
ReplyDeleteIs David the one who killed the dog?
ReplyDeleteYeah, it was stoned, had it's throat slit and hung from a tree, but it's ok, it was a mixed breed, and the lad was just a juvenile at the time. Huckabee says he didn't influence the decision to not investigate the incident by the police, cause he's a staunch defender of the law, but it doesn't apply to him nor his mixed breed son, David.

FWIW, killing/hurting any animal for no good reason is one of the signs of a deranged, mind, and a pretty damn good indicator of malicious/ murderous future behavior in adulthood.
David Huckabee killed a dog and got fired from a Boy Scout camp because he failed to show "kindness…"
ReplyDeleteThen Daddy got the cops to keep from investigating it.
Is David Huck the one who tortures animals, or the one who tries to board planes with a gun? Another family of grifters. He tried being a preacher, a politician, a talk show host now onto being a blogger. Well, when the familyare such BIG eaters, he has to do something. Strange how these grifting people are all gop or teabaggers, isn't it? Democratic people get REAL jobs.
ReplyDeleteAnd yet, the "librul" corporations continue to hack away at progressive media outlets...HuffPo is little more than a slightly newsier supermarket tabloid now, and progressive radio is steadily drying up. The thinkin' tanks know the best way to take 2014 is to cater to the misinformed, perpetually terrified patriuhhht sheep by shoving these charlatans down their throats (past the Chik-Fil-A's and Big Gulps, that is). Now we have to depend even more on bloggers, Democracy Now, Free Speech TV--and each other--to weed out the bullshit.
ReplyDeleteHuffington Post has been slowly going down the tubes since Arrriaaana sold out to AOL. Now, with the requirement to link to a (mobile phone) verified account to post comments, their member are jumping ship in droves.
DeleteWhy does HP need this? They don't. They are in bed w/FB now, in order to increase FB accounts. The don't even care if it's a bogus account. They just want more to justify FB joining the Fortune 500. Also,too, HP then gets access to EVERYTHING on FB.
Arianna sold us out to AOL. Now AOL just sold us out.
B'bye HP.
The B.
Same for me. I refuse to have a FB account.I have a life, instead.
DeleteI am one of those who jumped off the HP ship. Their bullshit self-serving double-standard moderation -- seemingly overseen by heavily-rouged spinsters -- as well as their new requirement for a FB account and "real names" was the final straw for me.
DeleteI left them once before; now I'm gone for good. Fuck them.
Our friends in the HP community have mostly migrated to Epoch Times. Many familiar folks over there, and other refugees of the social media industrial complex.
DeleteThe B.
Huffpoop still has lots of sideboob and nipslip posts if you are into that kind of thing...
DeleteMiley Cyrus also too!
Yup, when I was at HP earlier today, I noticed that the comments were WAY down. Old habits die hard--I never commented there or joined HuffPuff or Facebook for that matter--just looking for news. Ha. I guess I'd be better off printing the endless pix of Miley's butt to use for litter liner, or something. And of course, there was the article with the guy who had his hand sewn to his ankle (to preserve the nerves, I think). It's been up on the sidebar, complete with a photo, for at least 3 or 4 days. It reminded me of that classic scene in the movie Airplane! with the spinning newspapers, and a tabloid with the headline, "Boy Trapped in Refrigerator Eats Own Foot".
DeleteThanks for the tip about Epoch Times!
Another failure, another day.
ReplyDeleteMike Huckabee is a pos. Yep a family of low life grifters. Scammers, liars and cheaters. It''s like a wannabe romney family.
Huckabee is in some ways more dangerous than the idiot Palin, because he's far more intelligent, was not a quitter, and was a Governor in the south.
ReplyDeleteHe's also far more likeable than the screeching Granny from Arizona, in spite of Huck's fanatic religious views.
In a moment of unguarded honesty, Huck said on camera that he thinks all 'Muricans should be forced at gunpoint to listen to charlatan "historian" David Barton

That is the message of the Dominionist movement revealing it's voice and true purpose: subjugation and forced theocracy
"Oh and did you notice that he is taking a page from Palin and supposedly "keeping the door open" for a presidential run in 2016."
ReplyDelete------------------------------------
A big piece of campaign reform, bedsides finances, has to be a way to prevent the charlatans who will never get anything but fringe votes, and who know it, but who pretend to run solely to rack up years and years of book deals, speaking fees and tv and radio contracts based on being a "former presidential candidate."
They drag down one of our nation's most prized possessions, a free and fair (theoretically) electoral system, into the muck solely for their personal aggrandizement and to assuage their massive, narcissistic egos.
"I'm Herman Rick Michelle Santorum Cain Nugent and I'm considering running for President."
No, you're not. You're considering pretending to run in order to make money and have microphones and cameras stuck in your egotistical face. You are making a mockery of our electoral system. You're despicable.
Don't forget Helicopter Hair.
DeleteThis beguiling piece of shit led the charge to discredit the New York Times when it began investigating the Pope and the Vatican of a massive, age-old practice of protecting pedophile priests. In typical 'personal responsibility' fashion of a jackbooted thug conservative, he cares not a whit for victims, and attacked the messengers in the interests of protecting the rich and powerful Church. Can't wait to see him employ his charm in a HuffPo format - to continue to make sociopathic heartlessness mainstream.
ReplyDeleteHe use to have a radio show and I listened to him about twice because I caught him lying numerous times. Wasn't he a minister at one time? He is obese again as are his sons. Not a healthy looking family!
ReplyDeleteDon't respect him and won't read his writings!
Run, Mikie, RUN ! !
ReplyDeleteChris & Mikie in 2016 ! ! (Don't forget to reinforce the platform.)
I received this junk in my email the other day. Huckabee has not stopped the crazy!

Huffpo deserves to be flushed, It's been a dump since AOL bought it out. We need more rags like Breitbart, News Max, The Drudge and Sarah Palin, FB. And nothing fills the bill better than Rev Huckabee's Bullshit. Sites like this keep the semi literate idiots busy using their index finger to keep their place while reading. They can vent their spleens there, stay busy, and leave the rest of us alone.
