Stelter Throws Hardballs at McEnany, Softballs at Harsh Olivia Nuzzi
May 3rd, 2020 4:46 PM
On Sunday's Reliable Sources, CNN host Brian Stelter cued up New York magazine reporter Olivia Nuzzi to defend herself for asking Trump if he deserves re-election after he "lost" more Americans than died in the Vietnam War. Nuzzi's boyfriend Ryan Lizza of Politico claimed it's "never been the case" that reporters showboated in the briefing room. Has he never watched Jim Acosta?

Business
May 1st, 2020 10:58 AM
It finally happened. A liberal outlet got around to saying this was President Donald Trump’s economy, but only because it’s being wrecked by the Wuhan coronavirus. In an April 29, Politico Playbook PM newsletter, which aggregates top headlines, Politico had this disgusting headline take the #2 spot in its list written in all caps: “PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP’S CORONAVIRUS ECONOMY."

Culture
April 30th, 2020 2:27 PM
You know the old joke about the front page of The New York Times announcing Armageddon: Meteor Hurtles Toward Earth! World to End by Midnight. Women, Minorities Hardest Hit. Well, Politico seems to think we needed more proof that satire is dead. How else to explain a piece by Ryan Heath and Renuka Rayasam lamenting “Covid’s War on Women?”

April 29th, 2020 3:14 PM
Multiple liberal outlets fumed at how conservative donors have funded groups who have supported lockdown protests across the country. But they avoided reporting how the left is outspending the right in this election cycle to outside groups by over $100 million. Records reveal that all top liberal donors listed by Open Secrets (59) spent a whopping $191,827,021 combined so far on liberal groups…

Politico Retracts Its Fake Bank of China Story, Will Biden Follow?
April 28th, 2020 3:02 PM
To their credit, minutes before the end of Monday, Politico retracted its Friday faceplant of a story about Trump “owing tens of millions” to the Bank of China. It was a case of Fake News. But Biden was still pushing this garbage in a TV interview on Monday to defend against his son's business dealings in China.
Reporters Find THESE Protesters Unpopular and Unpatriotic!
April 27th, 2020 3:50 PM
Politico's Matt Friedman wrote from New Jersey on the coronavirus-lockdown protesters: "I'm not saying we shouldn't give the protests any attention. But we need to put them in context: This is not a popular groundswell but, at least as of this moment, a vocal small minority." The pollster he cited called them an "incredibly small sliver" of who don't believe in "social distancing measures to…

Nets Pounce on Bogus Claim Doctor Fired for Opposing Drug Trump Pushed
April 22nd, 2020 9:21 PM
On Wednesday, the liberal media lit up with the new anti-Trump narrative about Dr. Rick Bright, who claimed without evidence that he was fired from his HHS position for opposing the use of hydroxychloroquine, the anti-malaria drug President Trump had touted as a possible treatment for the Chinese coronavirus. But new reporting from Politico (not a right-wing outlet) found officials had been…

Business
April 15th, 2020 6:30 AM
Liberal outlet Politico exploited the coronavirus-induced "economic meltdown" and translated it into a political tool to be used by Democrats against Republicans to win races in Texas. In an absurd story headlined, “Economic meltdown gives Democrats new hope in Texas,” Politico bleated that “The twin economic shock of the coronavirus pandemic and a collapsing oil market has upended the political…
Politico Upset at Florida Gov. DeSantis, 'Hydroxychloroquine Pitchman'
April 9th, 2020 8:59 AM
Since the Orange Man has stated that hydroxychloroquine could be great aid in treating coronavirus, liberals reflexively reacted that it must be bad. All evidence pointing to the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine must now be written off by them as some sort of Trump delusion based upon only anecdotal evidence. In addition, anybody touting that treatment must be derided along with Trump.

Politico Worries that Coronavirus Could Help Re-elect Trump
April 2nd, 2020 8:15 AM
Politico is channeling a big fear of liberals concerning the coronavirus outbreak. Is this a fear that the deadly virus could spread exponentially? Perhaps. However, what really disturbs them is the possibility that President Donald Trump will get credit for keeping the number of cases relatively low which would make his reelection more likely.

Soros PAC, Sussman Gave $13M to Group Launching Anti-Trump Virus Ads
Business
March 24th, 2020 3:06 PM
It looks as though the left will exploit any crisis in order to take a shot at President Donald Trump, and they’re being fueled by liberal billionaire cash. Liberal billionaire George Soros’ Democracy PAC and liberal billionaire Donald Sussman are bankrolling a lefty group launching attack ads against President Donald Trump for his response to the coronavirus pandemic with at least $13,000,000 so…
Is This a POLITICO Story? Or a Biden Press Release? Who Can Tell?
March 13th, 2020 11:59 AM
Take a look at this Politico story about Biden's coronavirus speech on Thursday -- but pretend you're reading it as a release on Biden for President letterhead. This is written by Adam Cancryn, a professional reporter for a respected, national media outlet. But it's not a story, it is a press release. Suggestion: Get some Biden for President letterhead -- put this on it, make the reporter the…
Fact Check: Did Trump Call Coronavirus a ‘Hoax’?
March 4th, 2020 3:23 PM
Politico published an article reporting that President Donald Trump called the novel coronavirus a “hoax” in a speech Friday in South Carolina. “Trump rallies his base to treat coronavirus as a ‘hoax,’” reads the headline. Verdict: False. Trump referred to “politicizing” of the coronavirus by Democrats as “their new hoax.” He did not refer to the coronavirus itself as a hoax. Throughout his…
Politico Hypes David Plouffe as 'The Worst Prognosticator of 2016'
March 3rd, 2020 6:08 PM
If someone has been judged to have been the worst prognosticator for 2016 you would wonder why his book on how to beat Trump in 2020 is being hyped. Such is the case with Politico whose reporter, Alex Thompson, proclaimed David Plouffe as the worst prognosticator of 2016 yet oddly plugged his book on 2020 election tactics as he did on Super Tuesday in "The worst prognosticator of 2016 makes a…
