Tell Me (Please), Is There ANYTHING Besides politico?

How long has politico been around? How is it that they are referenced by the entire M$M and all over the net, even here?
Isn't there something else?

1. Not as far as the corporate media is concerned..aren't you happy to be represented by them

They're not a BIT biased :eyes:

Politico became mainstream about the same time as Smerconish, Beck, Buchanan, Scarborough, Tucker Carlson.. notice a trend here??

right wingers invited to be guests...then offered "commmentator slots", then become hosts, then invite all their little creepy web pals to play in the sandbox..

just in time for the '08 election.. after a few years, people become "used to" them..

the white house press room.

That makes it highly suspect in my book, and I don't go there or pay attn to their stories because I beleive them to be propaganda.

4. By "the entire M$M" you mean...

the three cable networks that hardly anyone actually watches?

I never see Politico mentioned anywhere else, except once in a while on some 'net news emails, but they're hardly mainstream anything.
