Politico: right, center, or Left?

Poll question: Politico: right, center, or Left?

1. Try Drudge

in a tie

[Jackpine Radical]

2. Corporate.

[Sebastian Doyle]

3. Short answer would be "right wing".

Longer answer - CIA propaganda distribution team.

[Dinger]

5. You Are Correct Sir

I was lazy and took the shortcut.

10. When some alleged news agency is an "overnight success" loved by the entire corporate media

and just happens to be based in Northern Virginia (sharing offices with Darth Cheney himself, no less) it's not much of a stretch to imagine they are on the Company payroll. ;)

[Dinger]

11. Yes. Their "Rise" Was Waaaaaay to Fast

There ARE other resources that have been around for much longer, both right and Left.

4. Oh look, a republican troll voted in this poll and clicked on "left"

Again, I'll say....

As I've been saying it for month's - "Politico" is a thinly disguised republican tool - Slimy fucks
in my book!

And idiot democrats & progressives keep quoting and believing the stories and polls put out by the very partisan Politico, this includes MSNBC shows, Huffington Post, DU and others who continue to pretend Politico is non-partisan....there is very little difference than Newsmax in content.

6. Republican troll = someone who doesn't agree with you, apparently

You said it (regarding Politico), so it must be true. Someone who has a different perspective and views Politico as leaning left is simply a right-wing troll.

:eyes:


And no, I wasn't the "left" vote in the poll, but I couldn't let your ass-hattery go by unchallenged.

[Sebastian Doyle]

8. While there are some on this board who would certainly use that definition.

In this case it would probably be an accurate one. Anyone who thinks Politico is remotely "left" probably also thinks tonight's ABC world news shillfest was "liberal" too. And you would have to be a Repuke to believe that.

9. I wonder what the point of the poll is, really?

on edit: some things are just too obvious to poll :)

[Dinger]

7. Saw Your Post In The Matthews Thread And I Was Inspired To Do This Poll

And you are quite correct!

[LaPera]

12. Thank you very much!

[FrenchieCat]

13. I warned folks about politico quite a while ago, in mid 2008.....

and take my share of the credit for coining the phrase; Fuck Politico! :headbang:

[Dinger]

15. Duly Noted

I posted a couple of "Fuck politico" polls a while back, just for fun.

[bermudat]

14. Just a more palatable version of faux news.

[GreenTea]

16. I agree Politico is just a Internet version of Fox news.
