Politico.com sucks...just another arm of the conservative media...

[SaveElmer]

The more I hear their "reporters" and see their website, the less impressed I am... they totally botched the Edwards campaign suspension story, and it seems their reporters are just as lazy and ill-informed as those on any other network...

More evidence below:

On Beck, Politico's Allen denounced Dems for "1984"-like objection to term "war on terror" -- what about Bush admin?


On the April 4 edition of CNN Headline News' Glenn Beck, Politico chief political correspondent Mike Allen agreed with host Glenn Beck's claim that a recent decision by Democrats on the House Armed Services Committee to refrain from using the term "global war on terror" amounts to "political garbage." Allen called the move "silly" and asserted that "Democrats are trying to make Iraq the president's personal war." But Allen did not say why he views Congress' efforts to clarify what funds are being appropriated for what efforts as "silly." Nor did he explain why he did not describe as "silly" the Bush administration's continued use of a term that some in the administration have criticized, and that serves to conflate efforts on different fronts, some of which -- Iraq, in particular -- are strongly opposed by the public.

2. They first time I read anything by them it was wrong.

There will be no third time.

5. Unfortunately...

They seem to have wormed their way onto just about every news organization..given their origins(Part of Albritton Comm.) that is not a surprise...

So it is hard to get away from them...

4. Well, I would go one step further, Elmer.

You have to be automatically suspicious of anyone who'd agree to go on Glenn Beck's show.

Your screen name makes me think of my favorite Elmer line: "Kill da wabbit, kill da wabbit...."

6. One of their reporters was practically touching himself while

drool was coming out of his mouth when he talked about how wonderful McCain's trip to the market was. I think this was on Tucker, and it made even him uncomfortable.

9. probably the same guy who was on the WJ one morning

he looked like a hamster on crack -- he wouldn't shut up, and he almost fell out of his chair preening for this website.

7. The day they went online they had a seat at a * presser, and * called on them

called on their guy and smirking, said "You're from Politico dot com right? Politico dot com?"
It's a plant.
(No not *, he's a shrub.)
