Yesterday, all hell broke loose because I wrote a sincere story about immigration issues Sweden have. I posted the article on the new contributor platform at Huffington Post, where they emphasize that writers have editorial responsibility. In retrospect, I gave them a dozen sources to corroborate the facts in the story. But they still deleted the article, and after a while they deleted all my earlier blog posts I had written for them. This is a direct censorship of my freedom to speech. The press responsibility is to show integrity, especially when one does not agree with the contents of the case one writes. The press should also take responsibility and stand up for injustices against the common man in the street. But in this case Huffington Post has failed its responsibility totally – and probably for political reasons. Generally speaking, this is very sad for Americans who want to know what goes on in their society. It is also alarming that one can not rely on articles written by journalists who aims more to become famous rather than being acknowledged. Journalist that always says what people like to hear shouldn’t be aloud to write for the nationwide media. To put things in perspective, I have previously written critical articles about Donald Trump, which is also published on the Huffington post, but these have been left alone without discussion of none of the editors. The difference is that editors more politically accept these articles because it’s critique of Trump. This proves again what unserious medium Huffington Post really is; they obviously just want to hear one side of the story. I’m upset, surprised and disappointed that highly paid and trained journalists in one of the largest US online newspapers can act so cowardly without a spine. The whole world can now witness what they are doing. And this has really given me an awakening. Although I have thought that Trump has raved a bit too much when he says that the press is lying. Now today, I have unfortunately a very different opinion. Media themselves, with these coward acts of Huffington Post, have now proven that Trump is right in his statements about the media, but hopefully not all of them! “The highest mode of corruption is the abuse of power.” Auliq Ice I also sent mail to Arianna Huffington on the subject, and asked whether she supports the decision these editors stand for, but now after more than 24 hours of waiting, I still have not received a reply, and the article is still censored. Meanwhile, the man in the street in America stood up and supported me in this matter, and I am eternally grateful for that. The people stood up for a more balanced and fair press-media, and for freedom to speech. But unfortunately it seems that we all have a fight ahead of us, a battle I thought was won long ago, that news should be presented in a truthful and positive way. In this case, we see the opposite - a total abuse of power in terms of censorship. I wants’ what best for America, I have always wanted a great America, and because of that I will continue to write about what I wish could have been better in the US. I will both criticize and also salute America when deserved, because I care about the country. Challenges I want to focus on is to get rural areas in the United States to work again, make a stop for crime, violence and drug trafficking, to provide middle class significantly better conditions and much mutch more. What’s amazes me now, is that the power elite in some of the American newsrooms do not even have this important subjects on their agenda. Anyway, I'll do what I can to bring factual information to Americans who want's to read them. Thank you all for reading! Thank you for reading, and share if you want to.

I thanked you yesterday. I've read some of your other articles. I am a conservative and want the truth even if it doesn't agree with my politics. The old saying "give it to me straight" no bs. I think you are cut from the mold of classic journalist from yesteryear.

This has been happening for a long while, Rene. It's why Trump won and why Brexit happened. The left has gone insane. I used to be a staunch leftist, but now I cannot morally align myself with it. I guess I'm somewhere center, maybe poking a little to the right now, I have no idea. All I know, is that things like HuffPo, Buzzfeed, Occupy Democrats, The Other 99%. CNN etc ... they are so bad, so duplicitous, that they're literally making leftists turn right. I meet new people every day that are ex-leftists because they're horrified with what the left has become.

It is truly amazing to what depth liberal sympathizers are sinking over this issue. One commenter on facebook said, of the wayback machine web archive of your deleted article, "his writing is full of grammatical errors". I responded, "OK, you go ahead and write in Norwegian". The snide continued. Bravo René! Don't let the bastards grind you down.

Excellent article... keep up the good work. Main stream news medias have been abusing their "privileges" for many years to the point of complete corruption and self-deception thinking now they actually have the right to controlling public opinion.

So did the cowards at the Huffingpaint Compost get back to you on why they censored you yet? I'm guessing no, because cowards won't ever explain themselves or defend their actions! It is so clearly a political decision and I will never read anything produced by them again! And the really ironic thing is they never censored that provocateur who last year wrote the article for them titled "Sorry liberals, a violent response to Trump is as logical as any". They don't even allow most comments anymore since the people just won't believe their garbage and they want to be able to hoodwink the few that aren't thinking for themselves, which wouldn't be possible if those folks found the comment section!

Unfortunately this has become the norm throughout major parts of the world. In Europe this is how media in general are acting. This is what is called Political Correctness - and has become one of the greatest diseases in todays world.
