ah, conservatives - taking personal responsibility since... never.

I don't think Politico can get any more right wing without becoming another Murdoch property.

DarnoKonrad: I don't think Politico can get any more right wing without becoming another Murdoch property.

I'm a pretty regular Politico reader. Politico's bent is about center-right, not hardcore right wing. Its readership, however, typically skews hard-right (and typically accuse Politico of being a leftist publication).

It's no FreeRepublic, I'll grant you.

You said Newt twice. You don't like Newt, do you?
 
2012-01-04 12:27:29 PM
It'll be fun to see how Politico bends over backwards to shed this label.

"Quick! Quick! Endorse Romney! No, wait, Santorum! Make up some shiat about Iran! Find me a picture of David Koch kissing a baby!"

TFA: to pretend that you're giving a fair and balanced view of things, when in fact you have no credentials to do that and you're only history is to engage in activism, is to engage in politics, is to engage in propaganda, then that's an unfair portrayal of the news to the American people.

I think this guy just coined Fox's new tag line.
 
2012-01-04 12:47:04 PM
Dude, if I was Politico, I'd be bragging about this. They have more power than anyone in the GOP apparently. Start demanding everyone dance to their tune.

"In terms of scrutiny, there has to be fairness. And so, if you're a commentator and an analyst - and I'm a commentator and an analyst - say you're a commentator and an analyst.

To be fair, the GOP candidates are getting all the attention and scrutiny. But it's not by design. They started their brazillian debates early and on the other side you have an unchallenged incumbent. This whining is so Palin/O'Donnell/Angle/MIller. "We only want attention on the positive things." Sorry, it doesn't work like that.
 
2012-01-04 01:54:40 PM
Well then HURRY UP AND BACK SANTORUM, will ya, Fox? Sheesh.

Maximum trolling is what that is. Maximum.

What I am reading here is that the GOP collectively jumped up and down whilst wetting their pants and screaming, masticating their shirts the whole time, and NOW they think we're painting them in a bad light?

"Is the mainstream media trying to spin the election?"

they are running against the mainstream media

when the mainstream media is all over them



News Corporation is an American multinational media conglomerate headquartered in New York City. It is the world's second-largest media conglomerate as of 2011 in terms of revenue, and the world's third largest in entertainment as of 2009, although the BBC remains the world's largest broadcaster. The company's chairman and chief executive is Rupert Murdoch.

Yes, but they're correct that they're NOT the mainstream media. They're a fringe organization that spews propaganda for the radical right wing.

This poor sap is probably genuinely unaware that he just described FOX perfectly.

Wait. Politico? Left-wing? They may not be WND, but they're not left-wing. Politico is the ultimate in beltway political insiderism.

That is cognitive dissonance, dissembling, dividing by zero and farking the chicken all at the same time.

It bends the mind to even process the fact that the broadcast spectrum itself, the farking electrons composing Johnson's televised appearance didn't annihilate into anti-matter upon transmission.

"The mainstream media is pushing a liberal agenda"
-Fox

"We have the highest ratings and are therefore the most important media source"
-Fox

i.e., FOX is pushing a liberal agenda

Won't someone stand up to the leftist media trolls at FOX?

This is typically how the Politico vs. Politico Readership cycle goes...

Tuesday's Politico Headline: Obama Possibly Not The Anti-Christ

Readership Reaction: You're part of the left wing radical librul lamestream media out of touch with Real Murica !! I'm boycotting this east coast elitist rag!!

Wednesday's Politico Headline: Obama Refuses To Refute Claims He's Possibly the Anti-Christ

One blog on the internet can shape the entire GOP field? Should say quite a bit about your party if you ask me.

Holy shiat, Rick Santorum is Catholic? He gives off such an Evangelical vibe. Most Catholics usually aren't all preachy (and extremist) like that. They're usually casual alcoholics who are really just in it for the tradition.

There are known knowns; there are things we know we know.
We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know.
But there are also unknown unknowns - there are things we do not know we don't know.
