HuffPo announcement may backfire

I read the statement from the Huffington Post regarding their stance on coverage of the campaign of Donald Trump for President:

After watching and listening to Donald Trump since he announced his candidacy for president, we have decided we won’t report on Trump’s campaign as part of The Huffington Post’s political coverage. Instead, we will cover his campaign as part of our Entertainment section. Our reason is simple: Trump’s campaign is a sideshow. We won’t take the bait. If you are interested in what The Donald has to say, you’ll find it next to our stories on the Kardashians and The Bachelorette.

What was even better to read were the comments from this.  If I may borrow some:

From alvmac:

Now the low info voters will discover there’s going to be an election. Is that good news or bad news?

From DEMSfightinwords:

This will be great for Trump. The Puff Ho readers will think that Kim Kardashian is running as his VP. Think of all the progressive votes he’ll get.

From needsleepe:

To the wonderful people at Huffinpuff. Bravo! Thank you so much for deciding to put stories about Donald Trump right next to stories about the Kardashians. Now we’re absolutely certain that all low information, Democratic voters will see them.

From RasputinX:

This might actually help Trump continue to build momentum. The low-information voters are going to the entertainment section anyway, so at least it will get them involved.

From scottyrhodes:

YOU’RE DOING HIM A FAVOR! He’s laughing at you! How many people read the section with the Kardashians vs. political news???

I had similar thoughts when I read the HuffPo announcement.  The Huffington Post, in its haste to trivialize Mr. Trump's campaign, has decided to put its coverage in the section that the low-infomation voters read first: entertainment.  Perfect!  I wonder if that had occurred to them before they made their ridiculous proclamation.  I also wonder if The Donald's approval numbers will go up as a result.
