Mike Huckabee to launch "Huckabee Post." Because you can never have too much misinformation in the world.

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee will launch a news publication “Huckabee Post” in January 2014, ABC News has learned.

The site will cover a range of topics from news and politics to sports and pop culture, according to the former governor’s son, David Huckabee.

Mediaite first spotted an ad on Craigslist announcing the developing outlet, which was advertising for full-time reporters who can work in the website’s New York and D.C. offices.

Mike Huckabee, who recently ended his radio show, made headlines last week after dropping hints that he is considering another run for president in 2016, telling the New York Times he’s “keeping the door open,” thanks in part to the recent wealth he has accumulated in his media ventures.

David Huckabee told ABC News that Huckabee Post is a “natural extension and expansion” of the discussion of news and commentary Huckabee already does online, and has done through other media outlets, such as his radio show and Fox News programs.

You know every once in a while I catch Huckabee on his Fox show and he has no shame about spreading the most vile BS in this folksy aw shucks manner that somehow makes it seem more malevolent then when it is done by Sean Hannity or Bill O'Reilly.

You almost want to trust Huckabee and that makes it all the more jarring when you hear him lying about Benghazi or blowing things WAY out of proportion concerning the Affordable Care Act.

I have no doubt that this sad little HuffPo knock off will simply be a cornier version of Breitbart or the Drudge report.

I would not look for any actual journalism to be practiced there, and anything which emerges will be heavily marinated is Right Wing crazy sauce.

Oh and did you notice that he is taking a page from Palin and supposedly "keeping the door open" for a presidential run in 2016. Yeah well I have seen him recently and any doors that are left open better be double doors because he has gained back ALL of the weight he lost before running last time.
