Now Politico is in the business of finding a GOP successor for obama. They're turning into FOX

[LeftyAndProud60]

Mitch Daniels from Indiana. I don't even know the guy, but can't they wait till after the midterms before they start this crap? Here's the article.

1. They've been hinky since their inception. They were started

with barrels of corporate media money in order to have "a presence" on the 'net. They are not an internet animal.

8. amen

19. Didn't know that for sure but could

have guessed.

[fasttense]

2. They are run by the elite uber wealthy in order to promote their

propaganda on the net.

It continually amazes me that people think politico is nonpartisan.

3. Yesterday, Krauthimer at Fox explained almost exactly the plan.

Connecting the Rangel "scandal" and the Patterson "scandal"
the Media will start talking Democratic Culture of Corruption
and the failure of HCIR and Young President ----. Democrats
will be thrown out of office.

See what happens when one side is passionate and intense and
the other is not.

4. The Gop has had plenty of scandals of their own. Not going to work.

Though of the more "moral" kind if you know what I mean.

[OHdem10]

5. How many of the GOP scandals have gotten heavy 24/7 coverage

on TV News??? This is the only place it counts.

The GOP have pushed the Media. You covered us as Culture
of Corruption and we lost. Now do the same to Democrats.

7. The whole thing with Mark Sandford was on my tv on multiple channels.

I really don't want to hear about their divorce. He is a governor, as is Patterson.

[FrenchieCat]

16. The GOP doesn't have to push the media,

the media sells the GOP to us every damn day.

[Catshrink]

9. You forgot ACORN.

6. poSHITico got way too big way too fast

How long has this shitty blog been around? It seems to me that as soon as they were formed/started, all the news shows and other media were citing them, and their writers were on the Sunday talk shows, etc., etc. And while I'm in a tin foil sort of mood, maybe somebody out there can do some sleuthing and find out if poSHITico has connections to faux, or the repuke party. Something hasn't smelled right about SHITico since the beginning.

12. They started OUT "big". . see post #1. . .n/t

10. Excuse me -- my male cat has republican tendencies

I try to turn him around but can't. How many votes do you thing he will get if I run him for president in the republican party. He is surely handsome and he listens pretty good. That's what it takes to be a president. LISTEN to the dumb a**es around you.

11. Politico has always been a neo con rag - a clone of Fox

nt

13. In case you didn't know, Politico has been an arm of the Drudge Report since it started

The links are obvious.

When you see a Politico reporter on TV, assume that it is coming from a nicer, "cleaner" version of the same messaging that the Drudge Report generates.

14. Daniels ran a television commercial in his last governor’s race saying ....

he would never seek another public office.

15. They won't tell you this

Here is a little tidbit of info I have just discovered.
Fredrick J. Ryan, is the chairman of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library Foundation. He also happens to be the CEO of Politico.
Fair and Balanced? Me thinks not.

[FrenchieCat]

17. I think it's time for us to stop posting Politico shit here at DU....

I know it will be hard, because their stuff is like heroin,
you can't seem to stop going there once you start....
especially since they are everywhere.

However, we should do what is good for us, and that would be kicking that habit.
I did quite sometime ago, and can say that I am clean of any urges to go to, read,
or post anything politico writes or says.

[Thrill]

18. They've been like Fox since they started

.

[Warren Stupidity]

20. They started out as fox.

Politico is a rightwing funded and directed organization.
