Politico Pimps the Global Warming Skeptics

[kgrandia]

For at least a year before the 2008 U.S. election, legions of political geeks were glued to a number of websites, from pollster.com to politico.com. The latter provided more or less excellent coverage, including the all-important electoral map.

But when it comes to the credibility of policy discussions, it looks like they've shot themselves in the foot. Via their "reporter" Erika Lovley, they are actively pushing the climate change skeptics' agenda.

1. politico Has Been Around How Long? And People refer To it Like It's A Political Bible

If I had my way, it would be a banable offense to mention it on DU.

2. Huh?

Why? Outside of this totally mental lapse, I really thought they did a bang up job in the election. I was in DC last week and picked up their print-version and read it cover-to-cover.

Why do you think it is so bad?

5. Kind of set that up

I am wary of calling any outlet a "beautiful, lovely thing" - why not do it on a scale from one (hate it) to ten (love it).
