5. Politico and the Hill are quite different. Management matters.

Politico was founded ten or more years ago by Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen.

Back then, Politico was one of the worst access journalism, savvy journalism, bothsidesist publications.

But a few years ago those two guys left. Politico has gotten WAY better- with headlines, and conveying truth not just the horse race. It’s not perfect, but it is decent. (Those two moved to Axios, which they remade in the same image. Axios itself is now in its own bad-journalism controversy, when Jon Swan ignored truth and encouraged Trump to say he could change the constitution.)

Today, the Hill has all the problems outlined above. Politico is better. We shouldn’t lump them together.

I think The Hill (And Axios) should be ignored by those who care about truth in America.
