Politico rivals Yahoo for being a cesspool of wingnuts

I know that this might fall into the "duh" category but it's hard to believe that Politico isn't run by Fox News and/or RNC. The bias against President Obama and Democrats in general is so obvious and overwhelming that it may as well be though they try to make themselves to be a credible news organization. Just have to rant for a second.

I couldn't stand them then and decided they were a RW rag claiming to be middle of the road.

So many RW options to get your misinformation

programs. He never seemed to take sides, just report the news. But once he left to start Politico, his true colors came through. Politico has been very negative toward Prez Obama and Dems in general. But when the president and CEO of Politico is Ronnie's former assistant, what can you expect.

"John F. Harris and Jim VandeHei left The Washington Post to become Politico's editor-in-chief and executive editor, respectively, launching the newspaper on January 23, 2007. Frederick J. Ryan Jr., former assistant to President Ronald Reagan, is president and chief executive officer." (Wiki)

when I first joined Yahoo Answers, I had no idea of how wild and crazy it was there in its Politics section. I went there, and there were anti-Obama questions and answers as far as the eye could see, and plenty of Ron Paul ass-kissing.
I haven't posted again on that site in months.
