POLITICO or Politico.com is a political news resource owned by Capitol News Company LLC. The website states, 'POLITICO is the first true multiplatform news source for people interested in politics.' It launched a highly visible website January 23, 2007 with over 6 million visitors a month. The print operation has a circulation of 50,000 readers. Politico has an unparalleled coverage of Congress as it publishes Tuesday through Thursday when Congress is in session and exclusively on Tuesdays when Congress is in recess. [1] It is known for closely working with mainstream media companies such as CBS, USAToday, CNN, the L.A. Times and many newspapers, television and radio companies. Politico boasts its audience is the 24 hour news cycle.
Politico reporting has leaned overwhelmingly to the left, as evidenced by attacks on conservative congresswoman Michele Bachmann [2] and former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. [3] Its left-leaning tendency is also evidenced by the description of Democrat Cap and trade legislation as "landmark," and the push for government-run health care as an "overhaul". [4]
