I'm not going to call them out, but I saw more than one post on DU citing Politico

[Stinky The Clown]

Politico is YOUR ENEMY.

They are 100% Right Wing Hate Machine funded.

In fact, they can be linked to everyone's favorite old uncle, Augusto Pinochet, through one of his biggest financial backers.

PLEASE find other sources for your stories .... or maybe just question the basic story.

POLITICO is a RW propaganda catapult.

[Historic NY]

1. Lets make them whither on the poison vine.

[BlooInBloo]

2. We've told DUers this over and over and over. You just can't make the fucking horse drink.

[Jackpine Radical]

3. I gotta say I didn't know that.

But then, the only time I ever look at anything of theirs is when it shows up here.

8. Politico 101....

10. me neither. I hope I remember that.

4. k&r -- I'm posting the link to your post from Friday:

This article by Glenn Greenwald about Politico ought to be in a sticky atop every page on DU

13. Thanks SW.

I have followed the links you and b-i-b provided, and learned a lot.

[scarletwoman]

15. You're very welcome! Gotta keep people alert and informed!

5. I wish the admins would take this seriously

and list politico as a site not to be linked to, like their counterpart Drudge.

[madrchsod]

6. anyone who uses politico for a source....

better be ready to take the heat. the worse thing about politico is that a simple google search on their story shows they made it up or they fudged the facts

[pacalo]

7. It's a good idea to remind everyone about Politico's motivation.

Have some more hearts, Stinky:

[blondeatlast]

9. They need to be publicly discredited--but DU is a damn good place to start.

I completley agree--when I see them cited I ALWAYS challenge the poster for another source and am rarely satisfied.

[Vadem]

11. You are so right, Stinky! I get so mad when watching C-Span...

Washington Journal--they constantly read the Politico bullshit! I'm just about over watching Washington Journal--from reading Washington Times to Politico--they're showing their true colors more every day!

[Enthusiast]

20. You got it, Vadem.

C-Span makes claims of being neutral on the issues but betrays their true identity if you watch carefully.

[Avalux]

12. Keep reminding everyone - Politico is subversive and dangerous.

And their peeps are all over the MSM channels as reliable sources. Now how did that happen?

[spanone]

14. i see politico quoted as a source more & more....

:scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared:

[stillcool]

16. Thanks for the reminder Stinky!

Here's a link of yours from a while back. It has some great info on the who's who behind the scenes. It's much worse than I ever would have thought.

17. A while back someone started a thread

Politico right wing?

My response was pope catholic?
That was a long thread with lots of informed posts by DUers.

[FrenchieCat]

18. I'm with you on that!

My post about Politico from way back: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x6151571


and my pledge against using Politico as a source, more recently.... http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x8134610

[madfloridian]

19. Politico joined with Reuters as an answer to AP....

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/15/business/media/15politico.html?_r=1

They have some articles there that are good. Just like AP makes sense once in a while.

21. Wolf in sheep's clothing = Politico

[blogslut]

22. I will say this for the bazillionth time

The Politico is not our friend.

[Romulox]

23. Don't look now, but there are a LOT of center/right posters on DU. nt
