Juana Summers of the Politico gets the clueless reporter award of the day. In her story on swatting she describes it as “an elaborate practical joke.” It’s so funny than more than 80 members of Congress and local authorities in several locations are asking the FBI to get involved. Let me describe what Summers’ calls a practical joke: Someone calls the police posing as me | Read More »
We should not be surprised Dylan Byers is defending Media Matters over at the Politico. I’m sure he does not want the spotlight shifting to him and the Politico for continually running Media Matters generated hit jobs. Byers himself cited Media Maters bashing Dana Loesch. He repurposed a Media Matters hit job on George Will recently too. He makes sure we all see both Greg | Read More »
Hours after the Politico’s Roger Simon accused the GOP of being racist, the Politico begins a sincere effort to destroy the black guy running to be the GOP’s Presidential nominee. The opposition dump on Herman Cain has begun in earnest. Before getting into the details, let’s pay attention to what this means. It means for certain that Herman Cain’s lead in the polling is real | Read More »
This is par for the course for the Politico. Mike Allen and Jonathan Martin are fixated on whether Rick Perry is too stupid to be President. Back in 2008, the same Mike Allen wondered if John McCain was going senile and making him unfit for the Presidency. This is rather typical of the Politico, which would rather be first than be right. Let me just | Read More »
By the way, it is worth going here now. I thought it had all blown over and was going to let it go. One of the things Ben Smith wrote was: A leading conservative blogger and commentator, Erick Erickson, said he shifted his stance in a key Senate race because the company that publishes his RedState.com is “socially connected” to former Virginia Senator George Allen. | Read More »
The Politico has been losing more and more good writers of late and, correspondingly, has been more and more prone to run Democrat talking points in their articles. It’s becoming more apparent why the Politico is showing its Democrat colors and becoming more Huffington Post like. Let’s review: John Harris is married to either the present or former head of NARAL in Virginia. Jonathan Allen | Read More »
Editorial Note: I missed Hogan’s post. Bumping this down botton. His is better. Here is the latest hit job on Sarah Palin. There is just one problem with it. It doesn’t appear to be true. Take, for example, this bit: According to a source familiar with the situation, she backed out of planned interviews with conservative talk-show hosts Sean Hannity and Mark Levin the morning | Read More »
By the time you read this, a lot of ink and air time will have been spent on this Politico article suggesting that the Republicans tremble when conservatives like Rush, Hannity, Beck, or even me says something. Eric Cantor went on the record saying, “We need more voices.” I and everyone else I’ve talked to read that as being critical of the present voices, but | Read More »
The Politico would have us believe that they are not in the tank for Obama, rather the coverage of McCain sucking is a reflection of the McCain campaign. The McCain campaign may suck, but the Politico is in the tank for Obama. The problem is that the Politico has a habit of being lazy and running whatever is fed to them on silver spoons. And | Read More »
This is a silly headline from the Politico. Jonathan Martin’s title is “Palin backs off “task from God” statement.” It looks to me like the media is backing off. As characterized by the media, Palin allegedly said the troops to Iraq were on a “task from God.” But that is not what Palin said. And she is not backing off what she said. She is | Read More »
It’s great that members of the mainstream media are now getting in on the act and admitting that Obama did support infanticide in the Illinois State Senate. Check out Ben’s post here. What? Don’t see the admission from Ben that Obama did support infanticide? Go read it again. That Smith is slinging Obama’s mud against Jill Stanek is proof positive and a total admission that | Read More »
Mike Allen at the Politico has an article that says all of McCain’s gaffes are raising questions about his age. The McCain campaign says Obama has had plenty of flubs of his own, including a reference to “57 states” and a string of misstated place names during the primaries that Republicans gleefully sent around as YouTubes. But the mistakes raise a serious, if uncomfortable question: | Read More »
