HuffPo Journalist Left “Scared” After Writing Anti-Hillary Story

Huffington Post journalist says he is scared after publishing anti-Hillary Clinton article

A HuffPo journalist says he has been left scared for his life and “spooked out” following the publication of an anti-Hillary Clinton story he wrote a few days ago. 

Huffington Post contributor, David Seaman, wrote an article exposing Hillary’s deteriorating health, which was subsequently censored by his editor.

Zerohedge.com reports:

On Sunday night, an obviously shaken Huffington Post contributor, David Seaman, posted a video to YouTube after the HuffPo had taken measures to revoke his publishing access and delete two articles he had previously published on Hillary’s health…a move that left him “a little scared” and “spooked out”.

According to Seaman, he has a long standing relationship with the Huffington Post which has included “100’s of successful articles” that have been published under the banner.

Seaman reported the move by Huffington Post by live streaming a video of his reactions on YouTube (full video below).

“Huffington Post, where I was a contributor, they have revoked my publishing access and they’ve deleted both of my articles that were published earlier over the weekend.  Both of my articles have been pulled without notice of any kind.  Just completely deleted from the internet.  And both of those articles mention Hillary’s health which is both a hashtag on Twitter and I linked to a video that a YouTuber, Paul Joseph Watson, had uploaded back on August 4th showing signs that Hillary Clinton’s health is quite poor.”

“Whenever a video concerning a presidential candidate’s health is viewed more that 3.5 million times somebody who is under contract to the Huffington Post and AOL should be able to link out to that.”

Seaman goes on to point out that completely removing a published article from the internet is unprecedented and leaves him “a little scared” of being the next person to be “vanished” for criticizing the Clinton campaign.

“I’ve honestly never seen anything like this.  This is happening in the United States in 2016.  It’s frankly chilling.  I’m a little scared.  I’m doing this video also to say, I’m not suicidal right now; I am not a particularly clumsy person; I don’t own a car at the moment.  So if I’m to slip in the shower over the next couple of days or something silly like that you have to really employ probability and statistics here because I’m not a clumsy person, right, and I’m also not a depressed person right now.  I’m a person who is spooked out though.”

“For Huffington Post to delete those posts without any notice, that is Orwellian.  That is something I’ve read about happening in mainland China.”

Fortunately, we’ve discovered a cached version of one of the articles published by Seaman (which can be read here).  In it, Seaman questions whether his readers truly believe Hillary to be healthy noting that he can’t express an opinion because he “needs to keep [his] job and platform.”  Seaman goes on to point out that “we all know what happens when you speak a little too much truth about the Establishment-beloved Clintons.”

I realize some readers might be wondering after watching Paul Watson’s video… how is she strong, or healthy, after seeing all that?

Look guys, I need to keep my job and platform. A lot of people read the Huffington Post and AOL properties. We all know what happens when you speak a little too much truth about the Establishment-beloved Clintons.

Just ask longtime broadcaster Dr. Drew Pinsky. “CNN has canceled Drew Pinsky’s HLN show, Dr. Drew On Call, just eight days after Pinsky made comments on a radio show questioning the health of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. Pinsky’s show, which is six years old, will air for the last time Sept. 22,” The Daily Beast reported.

Unfortunately for Seaman, it turns out that even posing a question about Hillary’s health is a little too much for the Huffington Post.

And, just for good measure, here is Paul Watson’s original video posted on August 4, 2016.  Sure enough, the video is up to 3.6mm views and counting.




Just to confirm his story, we took the opportunity to check out Seaman’s “long-standing relationship” with the Huffington Post. Certainly a quick search reveals that Seaman is a frequent contributor to the website on a variety of topics.

And sure enough, two of his posts, “Donald Trump Challenges Hillary Clinton To Health Records Duel” and “Hillary Clinton’s Health Is Superb (Aside From Seizures, Lesions, Adrenaline Pens)” seem to have been deleted from the website. Clicking on those two posts redirects readers to the following “Editor’s Note” indicating that “This post is no longer available on the Huffington Post.”

“Surprisingly”, however, the Huffington Post isn’t quite as concerned about censoring Seaman’s views on Canada legalizing medical marijuana…that post can still be enjoyed in its entirety.

And the “outright bizarre” behavior continues…
