Why the fuck does anybody post anything from that cesspool?



https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hill_(newspaper)

“Solomon regularly inserted material from advertisers into journalistic copy, leading to protests from The Hill's publisher, who subsequently left the paper.[10] Eventually Solomon was rebranded as an opinion contributor.[11] In March 2018 he published an interview and series of columns that promoted a conspiracy theory regarding Ukraine advanced by associates of Rudy Giuliani.[10] This led to further outcry from staff, and in September 2019 Solomon left the paper.[9]

The newspaper claims to have more than 24,000 print readers as of 2019.[2] The Hill is distributed for free in newspaper boxes around the U.S. Capitol building, and mailed directly to all congressional offices.

In 2019, CNN reported that Finkelstein was interfering in the editorial independence of the paper in an inappropriate way to minimize criticism of American President Donald Trump. They reported that staff were "in revolt" over Finkelstein's ownership style.[9]“
