As I keep telling ya'll... Politico is trash.

[Celerity]

Politico’s coverage of Biden was THREE TIMES AS NEGATIVE as its overall coverage in November, our sentiment analysis found, @RyanLizza

I love that
@Milbank
did this. So important.
But let's also dissect this idea, "We see it as our job to be negative." True enough and also likely damaging to our trust and to the public good. Here are the roots of

"We see it as our job to be negative, to be adversarial. But there's a real problem when we are being just as adversarial 'cuz a guy didn't pass a bill as we are when a guy is trying to overthrow democracy" –@Milbank

1. Indeed, Politico is trash and the

mainstream is not too far behind. The negative coverage of Biden is simply over the top.

[blm]

14. Politico was sold to a German fascist in October.

An Uber RightWinger. They are now even worse than they were before.

[wnylib]

19. NPR coverage of Biden is going down the same route.

22. what do media 'experts' think 1500 coordinated radio stations are for?

it's a constant massive buzz to 50 mil a week and it's all attacking dems and making excuses for republicans.

when democrats eventually stop ignoring that things will change. until then, not so much. the only break we might get is that the intellectual and moral leader of the new GOP, the guy that told millions for most of 30 years that smoking doesn't cause cancer, croaked ... on cancer. it's clear that central messaging that started with him has suffered and now they're headless, back stabbing and whining, rudderless. we don't even poll for the single largest common denominator for trumpism, and even though we let those 1500 radio stations attack Biden all day it's possible we might get lucky and they destroy themselves!

2. Powerful media...

...serves powerful interests.

Power = money = power.

Power does not like their taxes raised, their income lowered or their influence lessened.

It really isn't that difficult to understand...

3. Whatever happened to being truthful?

[Kaleva]

9. That never happened.

Especially during the 1800's when newspapers fabricated stories to increase readership and profits.

[certainot]

23. now they have 1500 coordinated radio stations that liberals ignore

[malaise]

4. ReTHUG owned trash

That is all

[Celerity]

8. a major RW wing German media firm (Axel Springer SE, of Bild & Die Welt fame) bought it 19.10.2021

6. That's the problem. They don't see their job as informing

7. K&R, this goes to show some of the M$M is ***NOT*** threatened at all

10. Absolute liars': Ex-D.C. Guard official says generals lied to Congress about Jan. 6

In a 36-page memo to the Capitol riot committee, Col. Earl Matthews also slams the Pentagon's inspector general for what he calls an error-ridden report.

11. Poor Politico: Can't generate the clicks without stoking the Bernie-Hillary wars.

[JohnSJ]

12. Many of us were well aware of their bias for some time now

[pansypoo53219]

13. i whiffed conservatism in politico years ago.

[leftstreet]

15. All corporate media is basically trash

Certainly since the loss of the fairness doctrine

Corporate media is about generating advertising dollars

[Evolve Dammit]

16. Stopped reading years ago. So slanted.

[monkeyman1]

17. my arthritis won't let me click that trash site ! it just creates pain !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Grasswire2]

18. I don't know what to think about Politico these days.

My favorite WH reporter, Jonathan Lemire, formerly top WH reporter for Associated Press, now shows Politico on his bio.

He's White House Bureau Chief for Politico, as well as host of MSNBC show "Way Too Early" and an NBC News Analyst.

[gratuitous]

20. Encouraging that some folks are catching this in nearly real time

Instead of noticing it some time in 2026. "Hey, lookit how negative the media coverage for President Biden was back in his first year. Why wuzzat? Oh well, no time to ponder that now, it's ancient history."

[TexasTowelie]

21. Yeah, it isn't LBN. nt

[rockfordfile]

24. yeah it's a pos right-wing hack website. It's always been.

[Diablo del sol]

25. Yet some high post count "in the know" DUers post articles from the site at least weekly.

I alerted the first time I saw one, never a response. Assume I haven’t earned the right yet. But still shocked to see the posts up with very little condemnations from others.
