I had no idea Politico was such a conservative site..

[samrock]

They have a poll up today.. Who is more to blame for Afghanistan .. Bush or Obama.. and Obama gets blamed more 58% to 39%... WTF!?!?!?!

[question everything]

1. Oh yes. When their reporter asked Bush something at a press conference

Bush was very happy to call on him "from Politico."

Still, as conservative media goes, it is better than Fox.

We had it pegged from the get-go.
Live and learn.

5. Sure is some difference between now and 50 years ago. I'm amazed at what...

passes for journalism today. Much of it is pure crap. And as you say, no standards. Couldn't agree more!

6. Those online polls are meaningless

They are almost always "freeped."

7. The site was built by corporate media in order to have a "presence"

on the web. It gave them an "online source" to quote from when they felt they needed it. It is an exact mirror of the standard beltway tilt we see on TV.
