The Huffington Post's racial slur

Whatever else they are InfoWars are absolutely right to point out the hypocrisy of the HuffPost in making this racial slur against Stephen Bannon when they have been accusing President Trump of racism of every description.

A bit like complaining of neo-nazis in America while celerating neo-nazis in Ukraine.

ANTI-SEMITIC MUCH?’: HUFFPO BLASTS OUT OFFENSIVE JEWISH SLUR

Numerous Twitter users took offense to the leftist media outlet’s use of the term, ‘Goy’
















InfoWars,

Editors at the Huffington Post were accused of spreading anti-Semitic hate Friday after blasting a headline featuring an offensive racial slur in reference to Steve Bannon’s departure from the White House



The website proclaimed, “GOY, BYE,” in a bold headline featured prominently on its splash page after news that White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon was out.
Editor Lydia Polgreen tweeted a screenshot of HuffPo’s front page, crediting editor Chloe Angyal for coming up with the idea.


Goy,” or goyim, is defined by the Oxford Dictionary as an informal, derogatory Jewish name for a non-Jew.
Numerous Twitter users took offense to the leftist media outlet’s use of the term, especially in light of the nation’s current racial tensions.




I'm afraid to think of what headline the Huffington Post would choose if Dr. Ben Carson ever left the Trump administration.

After accusing Trump of being anti-Semitic, HuffPo decides to show everyone just what they think of Jews eh? How utterly disgusting.
In the past HuffPo has exploited only their journalists who were Jewish. Now it's exploiting all Jews. Fucking hacks.
Isn't this incredibly anti Semitic? Also doesn't make sense, Breitbart has lots of Jews working for it. Milo worked for it, he's Jewish.
Chloe, if a Jew in Trump's admin - Kushner, Cohn, Mnuchin, anyone - had been fired, would your headline have been "KIKE, BYE"?

Truly sick!


You've managed to offend Jewish people more than anybody else. Revoke this and apologise. This is not okay.

This title is blatantly antisemitic & furthers age old stereotypes about Jews that have fueled countless pogroms. Goebbels used it a lot too

Some users also asked the Anti-Defamation League if they would condemn HuffPo’s use of the slur, before ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt thanked them for changing the headline.

HuffPost splash headlines have always been edgy and playful, featuring puns and references to popular culture./


Today’s splash was intended to be a mashup tribute to Yiddish and Beyoncé. Any other interpretation was completely unintended.
At 10:17AM Polgreen stated she was “Looking forward” to the foreseeable controversy the tweet would stir, but by 12:15PM the editor appears to have realized the headline was in bad taste and issued clarifying statements justifying use of the slur as “edgy” and “playful.”
