Readers of Donald Trump coverage in The Huffington Post are going to find themselves becoming familiar with an editorial note the website is now appending to all their coverage of the Republican front-runner.
"Note to our readers: Donald Trump is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, birther, and bully who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims — 1.6 billion members of an entire religion — from entering the U.S.," the note says. It first appeared Wednesday night on an article about Trump's feud with Fox News, Politico reports.
A Huffington Post spokesperson told Politico that the note will be added to all coverage of Trump. "No other candidate has called for banning 1.6 billion people from the country! If any other candidate makes such a proposal, we'll append a note under pieces about them," the spokesperson explained.

Last summer, The Huffington Post filed all stories about Trump in its entertainment section instead of its politics section, though it ultimately reversed that decision when Trump proved them wrong about being merely a "sideshow."
