Politico
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 pretends to be unbiased but their reporting has leaned overwhelmingly to the left. They consistently attack conservative positions and people such as congresswoman Michele Bachmann [2] and former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. [3] Politico writes unsourced articles making dubious claims just like tabloids do. [4] Their position has been outed and they are members of the out-of-touch D.C. beltway crowd, a full fledged member of the lamestream media.
Sarah Palin calls Politico, "puppy-kicking, chain-smoking, porn producers.” [5]
