Media Matters Attacks Politico [Fratricide!]
Big Journalism ^ | 11/6/12 | William Bigelow

Two of the major Obama sycophants are panicking without admitting it, and one has turned on the other in an attempt to jockey for position as Obama’s mouthpiece. Media Matters has been Obama’s mouthpiece for years, but then Politico moved into a position to challenge Media Matters’ ascendancy, especially because people used to take Politico seriously as a news outlet.

Monday, Media Matters attacked Politico for implying that if Obama wins reelection, it would be from an amalgam of "Hispanics, African-Americans, single women and highly educated urban whites", whose composition would not include independents and white voters. Politico authors Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen asserted, “A broad mandate this is not.”

This in itself is a shocking admission from Politico; that Obama’s coalition, if triumphant, would still not confer “mandate” status on his second term.

Good riddance to lying garbage.

“highly educated urban whites...”


Well? Ain’t that something!

What they are referring to is PROFESSIONAL STUDENTS and liberal feces that are found permanently around college campuses. You know....the ones who have never had a real job or “real world” experiences.

"Part of their analysis, however, rested on the myth that the United States is "a center-right country," which certainly helps to explain why they'd view an electoral coalition that excludes the center-right's top constituency -- white men -- as a political nonstarter."

Anytime MM resorts to 'myth'ology, pretty much means the accuser had it right...
