Speaking of the MSM, I'm officially giving up on Politico
Edited on Sat Sep-27-08 03:14 AM by GrizzlyMan
I read Roger Simon quite a bit during the primaries, but when you say McCain has essentially won by his big gamble to go back to Washington, and then you follow it up with post debate analysis by writing McCain won, and it was clear, you're a right wing hack.

Earlier this week, they ran a piece about all the money issues the Obama campaign has, all the obstacles he has to overcome meanwhile painting McSame's campaign in a glowing light financially.

When it was launched, I knew that the founder Mike Allen was a former RNC operative, but I still had high hopes for the website. I guess the one positive thing they have contributed to this race from our perspective is that they got McCain on tape talking about not knowing how many houses he has. What is stunning is they didn't burn the tape.

Beyond that, looking at their comments section it has become quite clear that a large number of right wingers read the website's content. Repukes don't go to progressive websites to get news and opinion on this election, and they don't go to unbiased websites either and yet like moths to light, they flock to Politico.

I know a lot of other DUers had formally written Politico off as a lite version of Faux news weeks and months ago. I regret I was late to the party.
