The Politico's Mike Allen: Democrats are 'bloodthirsty'

[Neecy]

I suspected The Politico was a RW front, but this blog entry sort of confirms that at least Mike Allen is. He includes an MP3 of the interview.

The Politico, the hot new DC insider publication, hypes itself like this: "journalism that insists on the primacy of facts over ideology".

So Mike Allen (e-mail here), the publication's "chief political correspondent" and a certified member of the beltway cocktail club set, appears on Matt Drudge's syndicated radio program. Ok, fine. Drudge reaches an audience and Allen's function is to get the Politico's name out there. But then, this man who is supposedly a top person at a publication that isn't just another partisan outlet proceeds to sound like any other right-wing hitman. Allen calls Democrats bloodthirsty for having the nerve to serve their oversight function. He squeals like a schoolgirl with a crush when he tells conservative gossipmonger Matt Drudge that Drudge is an idol and someone he sets as his home page in order to take direction from, then he gushes about the success of Fox News' propaganda network. Then the cherry on top, Allen simply dismisses the substance of why former Vice President Al Gore is testifying in front of congress on global warming - why bother, there are fat jokes to be made, and attacks on Gore's speaking style to be done.

1. A better way of saying it would be that the Democrats smell

blood in the water. They know that without a senate majority, they cannot impeach Bush so they will kill him one small cut at a time.

2. I agree - and I suspected they were MOS (more of the same) early on...

But, all of the cable whores seem to love them, and talk about them like they are some type of "leading inside experts" and not just another RW funnel of crap.

Chris Matthews almost came in his pants, the day that he had Allen on his MSNBC show he was so excited.

What's worse, is that "The Politico" is teaming with MSNBC for some giant debate that's coming up and I can't recall what party it's covering.
