7. Frederick J. Ryan Jr....he was an assistant to President Reagan.

Glenn Greenwald had an article about it in 2007: http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/2007/05/04/politico_funding/

Ryan is the President and CEO of Politico.

Politico announces again: GOP is resurgent!

http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/2009/07/29/politico/

"On Monday, I espoused my theory on Twitter about the birth of Politico...

One day, someone woke up and said: "let's create a perfect exhibit for everything rotted in politics & media." That's how Politico was born."

13. Greenwald today on Politico...

http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/2008/05/30/allen/index.html

Various matters...

"(5) Politico's Mike Allen is a frequent guest on MSNBC's Morning Joe, where his "Playbook" column is promoted. Today, Allen published a lead story in Politico "reporting" that Joe Scarborough -- the host of that program -- is a serious leading candidate for the GOP presidential nomination. Seriously. I think it's safe to assume that Mike Allen's spot on Morning Joe is secure for the foreseeable future, but how desperate must one be to get on TV to be willing to write an article claiming that?

This article is also yet another installment in the seemingly weekly Politico series claiming the GOP is resurgent (to be led by 2012 presidential nominee Joe Scarborough). According to the Politico article, the GOP has an excellent chance to defeat Obama in 2012, and one of its "sources" for this claim is Liz Cheney, who explains that Americans are realizing that the GOP is more trustworthy than Democrats on the economy and national security. That's what they call "reporting" -- calling up Liz Cheney and building an article around her surprising and informative prediction that the GOP is resurgent. The one thing I will say for Politico is that whenever one thinks they can't get any more absurd and attention-desperate, they prove you wrong."
