Not a troll job. I checked

quote:

This week’s news that the Huffington Post hired former NFL wide receiver Donte Stallworth to cover politics and national security has drawn plenty of criticism for several reasons; Stallworth pled guilty to DUI manslaughter in 2009, has made questionable comments about 9/11 conspiracies in the past and doesn’t have a journalism background. However, while all of those are valid complaints about him to an extent, none of them should preclude him from doing this job. In particular, his lack of journalism experience may not be a hindrance, provided that he’s willing to do actual journalism and not just provide talking head (or writing head, in this case) hot takes.

NO WAY 9/11 was carried out by "dying" Bin Laden, 19 men who couldn't fly a damn kite. STILL have NO EVIDENCE Osama was connected, like Iraq
