Drudge and Politico trying to turn Ed Schultz front row seat into scandal

[RamboLiberal]

What if Sean Hannity or Rush Limbaugh were up front at Bush's press conferences in the East Room?

Well, as network correspondents sat in the second row, liberal radio host Ed Schultz managed to snag a seat up front, right next to Helen Thomas.

Schultz told Politico's Jonathan Martin that his front row was seat was assigned to him.

Want to explain again male prostitute Jeff Gannon throwing Bush an underhand softball?

1. Once again, Politico proves is it just another RW rag.

I still want someone to tell me why they suddenly became a valid news source.

[FrenchieCat]

2. Because the RW needed a cover to attempt to lead the Netroots.

It actually has worked better than I thought it would.

3. Remember how hard Drudge tried to downplay Gannon?

he would go on his radio show and nasally say "it wasn't a story', "these things happen all the time", "no need to put it on site"...etc.

4. Did he even get to ask a question?

I don't believe he did.

[RamboLiberal]

5. No he didn't get a question - and its not like Ed Schultz

is known like Limbaugh or Hannity - yet. And how about all those WH & Oval Office Invites Limbaugh and Hannity got all those years from W? Did I just imagine those. Or all the conservatives invited down for a media day? Even some local RW yakkers.

7. Schultz didn't ask a question

So there! He must have been up to somethin'!

:wow:

6. Yet more proof that Sludge and Politic-ho are owned by the same asshats

When Politico first came out (unlike Drudge), it was well known that it was another arm of the Drudge "brand" of non-journalist "journalists" delivering another set of echoes from the Reich Wing Echo Chamber.

8. Matt Drudge used to have Integrity...

...then he hit puberty. :crazy:

9. Piffle, who cares what either one of them think soon they'll all be on the outside looking in...

:kick:

[Hansel]

10. The press conference was about our economy crashing down around us

and this is what Politico got out of it? Didn't they have a representative there? It's a transparently right wing rag trying to pass itself off as journalism. So what's the difference?

Sounds like jealousy to me. Like Obama says "childish".

Just by reading their comments it's obvious how right wing it is. What a bunch of morons.

11. they're just angry that they didnt get any questions. nt
