Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaah Lying hacks from Politico exposed - Rachel I love you

[malaise]

Thanks for tearing Politico and ReTHUGS a new one. Politico know they were printing lies because they covered the Obama meeting with ReTHUGS in January.
Fuck Politico - they are ReTHUG hacks.

1. Politico=Human Waste.....nt

[malaise]

9. The lying scumbags and their hacks

invented stuff about Obama crashing their January meeting. The same Politico that covered that well publicized meeting carried this crap as an excuse for the cancellation of tomorrow's meeting.

This shit is scary that they could knowingly carry known lies and then edit the lies and leave half of them.

I hope someone grabbed a screen saver of the original lies.
They don't trust him because he tore them a new one live on TV at their last meeting.

Here's the edited version.

2. Dems MUST MAKE USE OF RACHEL'S P.O.V.,

and doing so will gain us LOTS!!!

[Winterblues]

40. It isn't a point of view, it is a matter of truth verses LIES.

She expressed no point of view what so ever in her piece last night. she showed examples of headlines at the time Obama met with Republicans back in January. She showed emperically that Obama was invited by the Republicans weeks in advance and even showed the Republicans web page that claimed exactly that....She showed how it was impossible for Republicans not to have known Obama was going to be present. She expressed no opinion what so ever. She showed basic facts and compared them with the LIES just published by Policico.. This is exactly why everyone got down on Jon Stewart because he expressed pretty much the same thing as you, that facts are just a point of view....They are not...

[elleng]

42. In doing so did she not suggest , at least, that media and Dems

should inform the public of the facts?

And isn't one of her points, at least, that Dems should so inform the public, early and often?

[Auggie]

3. Mind-blowing...

Thank you, Rachel

[pinboy3niner]

4. "GE said everyone who works on this show will get a pony"

:rofl:

But I think everyone who works on TRMS DESERVES a pony!

[malaise]

27. Does anyone have the screen saver with the original lies

today.

[pinboy3niner]

30. I don't, sorry

Looks like you'll have to go to the video.

[NNN0LHI]

5. Politico is the Rethugs go to source for passing lies because Politico won't fact check

Unless it is a Dem saying something.

Don

[malaise]

15. Fact check?

They don't have their own archives. They knowingly published these lies ReTHUG aka talking points, because the back lash of dissing the President hit them hard today and they needed to come up with a story.
Distrust my ass. Obama schooled them at their last meeting which was organized by the RETHUG leadership and covered by Politico.

[givemebackmycountry]

6. Lying, Low Life, Motherfuckers.

There are NO words to sufficiently describe how much I loathe these hateful scumbags.

[malaise]

12. They are detestable

Good fugging grief

[spanone]

7. politico is shit

no friend to liberals

[aquart]

8. So no problem with the reception?

My mom just called to tell me Rachel is frozen on her screen but all the other channels are fine. (Mom has FIOS.)

[malaise]

17. Wow

I wonder why - make sure you send her the web copy when it's on her site later tonight.

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

10. What a contrast, rachel's the best and Politico is the worst.

Either Politico is outright lazy or they're outright liars.

[aquart]

14. But they are constantly being used as a reputable source.

Even here.

[FrenchieCat]

24. Yep.....

Which makes them weak sauce, and anyone using them even weaker.

[malaise]

23. In this case they are LIARS

and it's hardly the first time.

This one was beyond vulgar because the January meeting received significant coverage and ReTHUG hacks from Politico were involved in that coverage.
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0110/32239.html

Politico = lying scumbags.
Time to call out Jim Vandehei - they knew they were lying today

[H2O Man]

11. Recommended.

It was an outstanding news segment.

[malaise]

16. Rachel is a very sound academic

and a first rate journalist.

[Slit Skirt]

13. that was just friggin awesome....i love that woman

:bounce:
:toast:
:woohoo:
:applause:

[IDemo]

18. Probably the one and only thing DU agrees with Palin on -

Politico = "chain-smoking, puppy kicking, porn producers".

:rofl:

[Jensen]

19. She is fantastic !! Tweeter is going crazy about Politico is a R winger hack!!

[malaise]

25. Post this link and enjoy the laughs

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0110/32239.html

Psssssssst Politico covered the meeting in January. They deliberately carried those lies/ReTHUG talking points today.

[Bluenorthwest]

20. Agree on all points, Rachel is the best

Politico is an agenda driven batch of hacks.

[truedelphi]

44. Same feelings here. n/t

[Roselma]

21. That was great! Rachel is just amazing, and Politico is....

well...I shouldn't use language like that.

[BrklynLiberal]

22. There just are not enough superlative adjectives to adequately describe Rachel's work

[HowHasItComeToThis]

26. YES, THEY ARE PROPAGANDISTS, THRU AND THRU

DO A LITLE RESEARCH AND YOU WILL SEE

[malaise]

28. I've been calling them ReTHUG hacks for years

but truthfully today was a new low in lying.

edit subject

[myrna minx]

29. K&R. They are not a trusted news source - they're propagandists. n/t

[Pirate Smile]

31. Gawd, that was OUT.F@#KING.STANDING!

Luv, luv, luv Rachel. :loveya:

[malaise]

32. It was brilliant

:hi:

[Pirate Smile]

34. Hi ya. Here is the clip:

[givemebackmycountry]

33. Am I the only one that remembers the day that Politico was launched?

MSNBC was wall to wall with coverage, and they even brought in Ol' "Leg Tingle" Tweety to provide some early morning insight.
Chris Matthews was effusive in his over the top praise for Politico, and their editor in chief, a Republican whose name escapes me.
For some reason, that morning is etched into my memory.
That, and the day that Tweety just about went down on Tom Delay one afternoon on Hardball.

And THAT my friends, is why I don't trust a single word that comes out of his pie-hole.

And fuck Politico as well.

[malaise]

35. Thanks - I don't remember the launch

Fuck them indeed. This one was a new low but M$Greedia is on ignore.

Thanks Rachel.

[deacon]

36. They are dick cheney's people. n/t

[bullwinkle428]

37. But, but, but...Jon Stewart told me they were all the same!!

Who am I supposed to believe?

:sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm:

[malaise]

43. Not really true

but you can trust Rachel

[Enrique]

38. Politico was at the top of the Greatest Page yesterday

Not a single criticism of Politico in that long thread. Everyone loved Politico yesterday, after the Glenn Thrush story about the GOP hypocrite wanting his government health insurance. The story based on an anonymous source, by the way, but it was a great story.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to finding the Rachel Maddow piece this thread is about.

[Moosepoop]

39. You can find it at post #34 of this thread. n/t

[lame54]

41. My dear malaise - please watch this...

[Major Hogwash]

45. That was stunning. Actual journalism conducted before our very eyes.

Unreal. I didn't know Politico was bought and sold on the open market like that.
Jim Vanderhei, or whatever his name is, must want a summer house in the Hamptons.

[malaise]

46. What's amazing is how little coverage thisis receiving

These fuckers deliberately lied about the President of the United States and it is not news.
This one really pissed me off.
