Who funds and runs the Politico?

[charakter]

This is good reading for both Obama and Clinton supporters. It's an article by Salon's Glen Greenwald explaining how we should no trust the Politico. From 2007, and explains how this online magazine is a Republican cover.

So the President and CEO of The Politico worked in multiple positions in the Reagan White House, and was continuously promoted until he rose to the level of Assistant to the President. And his close connection to the Reagan family and the Reagan presidency continues through today.

Politico CEO and President (and former Reagan official) Frederick Ryan donated $1,000 to George W. Bush's presidential campaign in 1999 (earlier this year, as linked above, Bush interrupted his press conference to flamboyantly plug Ryan's Politico). When making that donation to Bush, Ryan listed his occupation as "Allbritton Communications Co." (h/t Casual Observer). Both Joe Allbritton and his wife donated $1,000 each in 1994 to the Republican National Committee.

6. GOP political wonks are behind it.

They have pretty good "news-of-record" reporting ("just the facts, ma'am"), but I don't trust their editorializing, even when it strokes my ego and supports my candidates.

I get the impression a lot of Obama supporters like Politico.

That will change.
