Look, lets be honest.

Politico is simply a collection of left-wing propagandists, who spew hatred and lies at every opportunity.

Being attacked by Politico is kind of like being attacked by the CPUSA.

You really should peruse Politco.

Sort of like The Progressive, but with simpler vocabulary.

... shouldn't left wing propagandists be rooting for Bachmann, Perry, Cain, etc.  Thats what I'd do if I were a left wing propogandist.

Ah, Muphry's Law in action again.

Yes, Politico has basically turned into a Romney agitprop outlet. This has been clear for some time, but became most apparent when they went out of their way to destroy Cain's candidacy. Now they'll try their hardest, ignoring the truth and throwing away whatever journalistic integrity they have left in the process, to destroy Gingrich's campaign.

I thought this was going to be about the poster. The answer to which would also be yes!

All I have to do is think something, and like magic it soon appears in Politico.  It gives me such a sense of power.

[Bacon King]

I think there's a comparison here with the last Presidential election. In the 2008 Democratic primaries, right wing groups focused a lot of attacks on Hillary Clinton, not because they supported Obama, but because Hillary was just so unpalatable to them. Now you have a lot of organizations going after Bachmann/Cain/Perry/Gingrich, not because they love Romney, but because they find the possibility of these other candidates becoming President to be horrible.

Also, Romney ran in 2008, so most of the anti-Romney stuff is still "out there" and well-known by insiders, rather than being any sort of breaking news. Also, he was preparing for this race long before the others, so he's naturally hasn't produced any big gaffe for the media to focus on.

So, yeah, I wouldn't assume Politico is pro-Romney, they're just a whore for readers/viewers/whatever like all other media.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

The easy answer would be to see how hard they hit Romney back in 2008. I doubt they let him up easy. All his dirty laundry was aired then, so it would make sense to look there.

Thank you for agreeing with me that Politico is a left-wing rag engaging in smear tactics.
