Politico,com Good or bad?

Poll question: Politico,com Good or bad?

There is this mantra that continues to be chanted by a portion of DU that Politico.com is a RW e-rag. Do you agree?

1. Other

No matter their bias - they are sometimes the first w/a story - so I vote worthy of checking out.

Many here won't agree with me and that's fine, I still go over there daily.

2. Somewhat of a right-wing bias, but I still use it as one of my news sources.

I just take it's bias into account. I got there when I want to see a "mainstream" view of political news. HuffPo is nice and all, but they don't drive the media narrative. The Politico does.

5. I second that n/t

3. Ben Smith isn't exactly on our side

But I don't think he's dead set against us either. I don't read much on Politico beyond his blog.

4. Is he supposed to be "for us"?

He is covering the Democratic side of the election. That doesn't mean he has to be biased towards us. WOuldn't you rather both he and Jonathan Martin be objective? That is his job afterall. Isn't it? :shrug:

6. They've been quite critical of McCain-Palin

so they're good enough for me I guess.

7. Owned by corrupt RWer (Allbritton). Latent biased but needs the web traffic. nt
