HuffPost is generally well written except for certain fixations. For instance they seem especially fond of the word "queer" which I find offensive and insulting no matter how many gay men mistakingly think of it as acceptable. Aside from that, today they wrote what I consider a truly stupid description of a father in distress. When President Biden, in a Rose Garden speech, referred to Fred Guttenberg's daughter Jaime who was as killed in a the Parkland school shooting, Mr. Guttenberg cried. HuffPost described it as, "cried like a baby" an idiotic and demeaning use of a cliche that bears no resemblance to a still-bereaved father overcome with heartbreak. Fred Guttenberg is a major activist for greater gun safety and only a hack writer would describe this respected man's sorrow in such infantile terms.
