I have always regarded Political as right leaning--if not outright pushing trump agenda.

Glad @ErikWemple covered this - still amazed most journalists don't care that @politico sold their work as part of pro-Trump advertorial package. Based on Erik's reporting, looks like Cambridge Analytica chose Politico *because* of its low standards!

Interesting considering Politico was also the ones to break the whole Donna Brazile shenanigans.

Vandehei, Allen are now running a segment daily on @msnbc right before @Morning_Joe, a show that gave Trump favorable coverage during 16. What a joke.

This is how Politico was born. 👇

Notice how Vandehei and Allen are now both in Axios and pulling the same stunts.

I read this article long time back - and I never had any respect for Politico, Axios & Morning Joe.

My criticism of the media and these media personalities often come after considerable research, observation and backed up by facts. And I know exactly the reporters and newspapers to trust and the ones to completely avoid because they are garbage.

Erik Wemple Opinion
Politico stands by sponsored content for 2016 presidential campaign
by Erik Wemple March 24 Email the author


.............................. Native ads — those sneaky rascals that promote stuff while resembling genuine, fully vetted editorial work — are part of the formula.

One of those ads just became famous, per coverage in the Guardian about the work that Cambridge Analytica, a firm that represents clients seeking to “change audience behaviour,” did for the Trump presidential campaign in 2016. The firm zoomed into the news last week, when it emerged that it had acquired data from 50 million-plus Facebook users.

In explaining how Cambridge Analytica assisted the Trump campaign, the Guardian interviewed former firm employee Brittany Kaiser. The story included these three paragraphs:

One of the most effective ads, according to Kaiser, was a piece of native advertising , which was also profiled in the presentation. The interactive graphic, which looked like a piece of journalism and purported to list “10 inconvenient truths about the Clinton Foundation”, appeared for several weeks to people from a list of key swing states when they visited the site. It was produced by the in-house Politico team that creates sponsored content.

The Cambridge Analytica presentation dedicates an entire slide to the ad, which is described as having achieved “an average engagement time of four minutes”. Kaiser described the ad as “the most successful thing we pushed out”.
