Just what is Politico, really?

Advertisements [?]

They were billed as a bipartisan go-to operation for political insight.

The sugar daddy is a right winger (name escapes me at the moment).

A lot of gentle sounding right wing drivel comes from them.

None of their 'reporters' impress me with integrity .... or even really serious creds.

They went from being a web site to a seeming subsidiary of MSNBC.

Their nooz feed is now featured on Yahoo News, along side AP and Reuters and McLatchy as if it were a legitimate source of actual news. It isn't. Its political gossip. The Beltway equivalent of Entertainment Tonight. Or propaganda catapultation.

They act like a smarter, more subtle Fox news.

So .... just what **is** Politico?
