What's the story with this Ben Smith guy on Politico?
It's obvious he has a major bee in his bonnet about Obama, slanting story after story against him. But is it confirmed whether he's a Hillary supporter? A repuke? Or is he just trying to get hits on his website?

2. When politico first started up, many of us noticed the r/w slant.
Now they're deemed the place to go for political news, by many. The slant is still there imo; I think he's pumping her up and dissing him because they're like every other m$m; they want to see the GE with McCain and Clinton as players. Status quo, what everyone's been banking on. To that end, that's how they 'report'.

3. Apparently he thinks a college paper endorsing Clinton deserves a whole post, while...
The Philly Daily news going for Obama gets a little mention in another one with other stuff in it.
