Politico's latest cheap shot at Sarah Palin...
Team Breitbart: We’re going to smack Politico across the face and expose Buzzfeed: Breitbart’s Ben Shapiro took a more bellicose tone, declaring that Breitbart News writers would challenge not only the existing mainstream media for their biased coverage, but also the newer online outlets. “You’ll notice that...
Guy Cecil is the Democratic strategist who was the hero of the 2012 Senate strategy which resulted in Democrats not only holding the Senate, but picking up two seats. He will return in 2014. Cecil, it's worth noting, points out what people like Kathleen Parker refuse to...
Two of the biggies at Politico have a lead article today, Obama, the puppet master (emphasis mine): President Barack Obama is a master at limiting, shaping and manipulating media coverage of himself and his White House. Not for the reason that conservatives suspect: namely, that a liberal press ...
Look at how dreamy Morning Joe treats Elizabeth Warren's "grilling" of bank regulators (it hardly was a grilling, just a single inane gotcha question she repeated over and over for dramatic effect): Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy Now contrast that...
Politico creates the narrative it wants from unhelpful numbers...
DICK MORRIS, who has not been taken seriously by serious people for a very long time, confessed on Fox News yesterday that he deliberately misled viewers: “I think that there was a period of time when the Romney campaign was falling apart, people were not optimistic, nobody thought there was a chance of victory and I felt that it was my duty at that point to go out and say what I said.” http://goo.gl/6YbLhPolitical Wire and Politico are the only outlets I have seen which cut off Morris' statement mid-sentence. There was no confession by Morris that "he deliberately misled viewers" as described by Politco based on the Political Wire report. None. In fact, Morris said just the opposite. I emailed and tweeted both Goddard at Political Wire and James Hohmann at Politco pointing out the inaccuracy and requesting a correction.

Update -- Studies of media and internet consumption contradict Politico narrative of conservative cocoon....
I wrote off Politico a long time ago. Remind me not to look at the Politico links you send. Sure, just like NYT and WaPo it's hard not to look and link, because it covers so much ground. But really, nonsense like this article written from three...
I'm quoted in a Poltico story today about Elizabeth Warren: “If she is 1/32nd Native American … is it really appropriate to list yourself that way and knowing you will therefore be listed as a minority law professor?” asked William Jacobson, associate clinical professor of Cornell...
I've done this before, more than once. But now that Herman Cain is out of the race, this may be the last time (probably not, but we can hope): As of today, 5 weeks after Politico broke the story, we still do not know what Herman Cain was...
Politico targeted Herman Cain in an almost unprecedented fashion, turning its homepage into all Herman Cain all the time for about two weeks. Politico can move and shape a story because of its high traffic (reportedly 60 million page views a month and 8-10 million "unique...
I noted about a year ago that I had moved away from Politico as a prime source of news because of it's anti-Palin, anti-Tea Party bias. That bias has been confirmed by the shoddy reporting of the accusations against Herman Cain, and its current obsession...
Via The Hill, and about a thousand other outlets: Herman Cain told members of his staff that he is "reassessing" his decision to remain in the race for the Republican presidential nomination following new allegations that he conducted a 13-year-long affair with an Atlanta businesswoman. "Cain told...
On Sunday evening, October 30, Politico broke the story that two women had complained about Herman Cain while at the National Restaurant Association. In that first week, Politico ran several dozen stories about the accusations without telling us what the accusations were, while characterizing the...
The narrative is being set. Mitt Romney will be the nominee because all other candidate are faltering, and cannot hold up. Who is setting this narrative? In addition to the usual suspects, add Politico, as in this post by Alexander Burns: Conservatives don’t like him. They really...
Of course that's not the case. Believe him or not, Herman Cain stood at a podium and addressed the charges and took reporter questions. Not so Karen Kraushaar, who has multiple (we don't know how many) employment claims to her credit. Kraushaar will only reveal details...
The champagne corks must have been popping at Politico sometime just after 2 p.m. today, as Sharon Bialek presented her charges against Herman Cain. After a week of obsessive reporting (at least 91 stories about Cain's alleged sexual harassment of employees at the National Restaurant Association),...
