We have a late addition for "dumbest thing written by the media" during the 2026 Winter Olympics, and it comes from the Huffington Post. Actually, it's not even a late addition.
"There's A Name For The Discomfort You're Feeling Watching The Olympics Right Now," the headline reads.
HuffPo originallypublished the articlenear the start of the Games but decided it was justso goodthey had topublish it a second timeright beforeTeam USA faced Canada in the gold medal gamefor men's hockey.
"If waving the American flag or chanting ‘USA!’ turns you off right now, you're not alone," the subheadline adds.
Apparently the Olympics were not complete until someone in the left-wing media decided patriotism required a mental illness diagnosis. Which is fascinating, because these are thesame people who believethat being "transgender" is an "identity" and not a mental illness, but that's beside the point.
HuffPost’s therapist-driven Olympics coverage recasts patriotism as distress, turning a unifying event into ideological conflict and reinforcing a broader culture of emotional fragility.
"While President Donald Trump’s deportation agenda separates families, and federal agents detain 5-year-olds and kill unarmed civilians, American athletes are winning medals on behalf of the nation at the Olympics right now," the first paragraph states.
Framing the deportation of illegal immigrants as "separating families" immediately alerts readers that the author has no interest in providing reasonable commentary, but is committed to the ideological agenda.
In addition, casting Alex Pretti (who appeared to be armed at a protest) and Renee Good (who appeared to weaponize her vehicle) as "unarmed civilians" killed by federal agents is both misleading and wildly irresponsible.
But that's not what we're here to talk about right now.
